Let Mikey try it!:) (for those of a certain age that remember the Life cereal commercial).
Cool article Fred! Did I mention I want a Kindle! Ooops, that is the name of my thread...:p, I am realy becoming more convinced I would like to have one!:book2:


This is reminding me more and more of a trick my cousin used to play on me as a kid.
We wanted to jump off a small cliff into the Pecos River but we were scared so he said...
"man I hope I get the courage to jump because whoever does that first will be the bravest
kid in the world!!!
So eventually I jumped out of fear that HE would be the bravest kid in the world
and not me..
I got hustled more than once that way.

Anyway, I feel like that is what we are doing to etexas!
We are all waitin' for the Tyler guy to buy one first and see if there is buyer's remorse.
If he does buy...I bet he will be the bravest guy in the whole world.

:lol:

:cheers: to the bravest guy in the world! I'll be waiting for the price to come down around to $100. It will, sure as tomorrow's sunrise--but it might take a while.
 
I like gadgets, but I'm hard on them. That's probably why my PDA is still a pocket notepad. As much as I'd love to have my entire library available on a lightweight pad, I keep thinking of the sunk costs of all those unread volumes on our bookshelves. I know, I'm a dinosaur.

I like gadgets too. Hey, I'm sitting at home downloading lectures to my iPod while recovering from a virus (picked up in Ozarks from a grandson). But, yikes! (not a minced oath to my knowledge). ;) If you don't mind reading on an electronic screen, why not just use your laptop? My library has expanded since computers: Logos Libronix; Ages; WordSearch; Pradis; P.C. StudyBible, QuickVerse, e-Sword, Puritanica, not to mention Still Waters Puritan Library. Plus, since joining this board, I have discovered tons of great PDF's for free! My working library is on this laptop is somewhere over 7,500 volumes, most of them for pennies on the dollar or entirely free. Going to the Kindle would seem to be a step backward. Although, honestly, my investment in PC-based resources will make me a dino as well when it comes to the next best thing coming along.
 
I AM DOING IT!!!! I AM GOING TO ORDER A KINDLE THE 1st....I would do it sooner.....but I kind of got into it with Megan over spending this month. So count down 3 days....I am "jumpin" the cliff!:pilgrim::pilgrim::pilgrim:.....I will give you guys the PB review!:):):)
 
Is there anything like Kindle that will allow you to unload your own pdf library to it?

:lol::lol::lol:, O sort of like this "challenge" I AM THE BRAVEST CAT IN THE UNIVERSE!:lol:, really, somehow, it gives me sort of a justification for getting one!;););)
 
Hate to do the "double-post" but one thing I like is that it IS an independent device from my PC. I like that about this product! No wiring it up to my Mac, no "hovering" near my router. I think those are good selling points! :2cents:
 
I ordered my Kindle!:applause::pilgrim::D Bad news! They are sold out and will have o more till after the 24th!:violin::violin::violin:
 
UPDATE: I am based on some advice from some techie friends to at least wait until the 2nd generation of Kindle. For Christmas, Megan will be getting me the new iPod that will allow me to purchase Albums and songs while away from the computer! 16gb!:popcorn::applause::applause:
 
Reallly ashamed to admit this because it cost SO much but I do read a lot and I am on the move a lot.
I went ahead and bought a Kindle.

I got mine today. I LOVE it. I am tempted to blow up the television.

BUT this is what I want to encourage those of you who are writers to do.
Get your book available on Kindle. The Amazon website is begging for writers who want their stuff converted to eprint.
There isn't enough reformed reading available to download and there needs to be. There is a Sproul book or two but meanwhile people can get all the Joel Olsteen and Rick Warren they want.
As I understand it you get a much larger cut of the money than the other guys give you.
