Who Needs a Kindle?

Good job portaying an egg head, kindle guy.

I love this man's embouchure.

I prefer making xerox copies of all of my books, always good to have a back up if needed.

Well, what kind of moron DOES need to be able to call someone all the time? Cel phones have not improved communication. most people make dozens of totally unnecessary call each day. "Oh, I just have one for emergencies." Last time my car broke down, 5 people stopped to offer use of their phones. I guess I really didn't need one after all.
Yes, the cel phone has "practically become a necessity" ...ha!

Just because YOU consider calls from outside the home unnecessary doesn't mean they are for everyone. Some people actually have shit to get done that, 30 years ago, they would've taken longer to do because they could only accomplish it from the office or at home.

Why are you angry? It's not like cell phones are hurting anything.

If you don't like them, don't get one and shut up?

I like cracked, but by this logic we don't need MP3 players right, I mean rarely do you listen to more than an hour of music at a time or portable gaming systems because one game can take 30-40 hours. Yeah you only read one book at a time but for the same weight, and price which would you rather have one book or a small library?

I would give this comment 10 thumbs up if I could. Thats the whole premise of the Kindle. The fact that you can carry so many books at once. Some people read through books quickly, travel often or read very long books. For those reasons the Kindle is great. You can immediately start reading a new book when you finish one since you have so many in your hand to choose from. It holds your place in all of them and public domain books can be downloaded for free/cheap. You have a dictionary built in

not that funny

So what happens to all the books you've bought and stored on your Kindle when you drop it on the sidewalk and it's damaged beyond repair? Does Amazon send you a new kindle and let you download all those books again for free?
