The Kindle

I've been wanting an electronic book reader for years. If you could see my basement... with 4,000 books in boxes waiting for places to shelve them, you'd understand. (I'll never stop reading on paper though.) So I've watched the Kindle and figured someday.

Here's a recent review of the second generation Kindle:

I was looking at Kia's book bag and realized that the best use for something like this would be at schools. Put those monster text books in a Kindle, teach the kids how to use it to read, study, take notes, do homework, etc. and not only will they learn, they'll have better posture.

Perhaps my grandkids will do this.
