I will have to give kindle a try. The book reader I have seen so far was from a colleague at work. It was a white device with an ink type display, don't remember the brand. The only thing I do know is that I do not connect with this type of information device. I deal with digitized information all day long and I find it gratifying to hold the physical evidence of a creative act in my hand. No switch, no battery, no breaker, no format incompatibilities, no pixels, no DRM, no dependencies. A candle will suffice to delve into it's secrets. I know this is a romanticized view and it boils down to personal opinion, but hey, sometimes it feels good to be a dinosaur.
