I "invested" in a Kindle and I LOVE my new Gizmo (yes, I named it)! If you are an avid reader and like to carry books along with you for breaks in office routine (like we get any...but it would be a healthy behavior) or on vacation/trips...this baby is a must have! Amazon has reduced the original cost to $350 (after I purchased mine, of course). They download your purchased book or newspaper or periodical via whispernet for free! You wake up in the AM and your paper is on Kindle instead of your doorstep. The selections increase exponentially every day. My highest cost for a book has been $9.99. They do go higher (like manuals or professional resource books), but for those of us who cannot throw a book away or even bear to bring it to McKays, Amazon stores ALL your purchases on their server giving you self room for...hmmm, things you need to shelve.
