i'm officially an old codger

and I fucking love it!

i read the new yorker on the train every morning. and, I'm hopeful that it could save news agencies across the world from the financial mess their in.

get a kindle folks. support good journalism.

Can you pull WATMM up on it? Doesn't it support RSS feeds as well?

yeah, i can watmm (and the G3 service is free!!!)

rss what now?

As soon as this is available over here I'm buying it. (we can get a kindle but not with free g3)

fuck kindle .. i like my newspapers and novels the old fashioned way

YEAH!

that's because you've never used one. i had the same opinion.

it was given to me as a birthday gift, complete surprise. i thought i wouldn't like it, but it's really great.

i would love one of those readers, saving the trees and all that

fucking lol

welcome to the future dumbass

ps: if you're gonna buy a kindle, do me a favor and buy it through this link :)

I am not convinced, please post pictures of you enjoying it.

A Kindle doesn't make you an old codger.

I want to get one for my wife for our next anniversary . . . maybe sooner if she keeps buying books.

Your wife? Lol contradiction of terms dude.

is it really that difficult to take a book somewhere? are you planning on reading 1500 books while you're at work? i just don't get this at all. the ipod makes sense because of how music is taken in. books are a bit different, at least to me.

She's older than I am, anyway.

It makes sense if you buy a large volume of books.  If my wife had her way (and unlimited funds) she would come home with a new book before she had finished the last three she bought.

Can your wife read you like a book?

i would love the kindle too if i got it as a gift

forking 200 over for it seems silly though

and i have an iphone. they have a kindle app on there so you can just dl it that way.

No one can read me like a book.  Not in person, anyway.  I could talk to someone for hours, and their expression would never change from a blank, dumbfounded stare.  

I don't think it helps that I only speak in Klingon.

how come people who read multiple books a day always seem to be dumbest people? is it because they read any crap book and surely just scan read the books?

They are suffering escapist fantasies and lack social skills.

if it can't do porn, then fail.

Naaaaah.

e-paper is the future. I think it will replace televisions someday. Real newspapers are nice though. Its a shame. I like the sound of the paper and the feel. I love to listen to people reading the paper.

the man who reads everything published in his lifetime is dumber than someone who reads no books

I also started using the Kindle app on the iPod Touch. Very convenient for me since I always walk or take the bus where ever I'm going. I always have my iPod - so now I always have a book and get much more reading done.

Plus the E-books are cheaper, environmentally friendly, and instantly available instead of waiting a week to get it in the mail.

Really the only reason to complain is that now you can't show off your book collection on a shelf to impress your friends, and if that's what you're doing then you're reading for the wrong reason anyway.
