Kindle

Have you heard of this new product? It's a handheld computer book reading device. I recently learned about it and I just don't know.
I'm still deciding if I like this product. I hate the thought of replacing books with a computer but I can see where it could be a very handy tool. I won't say never for me because that's a dangerous place to go but I can say. I don't see myself giving up real books. I love the feel of a book. I love the smell. I think that is why I love the library so much.
This little tool could be perfect for traveling. I could take my book with us on the motorcycle when go for days and use no space at all..... something to think about.
It's very pricey. I think that's in part to the fact that they are so new. Remember Microwave ovens, Cell phones and DVD players? All very pricey until the new wore off. I ever I do get one it will be when the new has worn waaaay offffff.

What do you think?

Shoot, I thought you were having a Kindle giveaway! LOL

No, nothing will replace the feel and smell of a real book. I will never abandon books. But I would love to have a Kindle for traveling, or to subscribe to all my magazines. I go through major guilt when I see how many trees I'm wasting to feed my magazine habit.
