Amazon Kindle

It's funny how people think the kindle is a waste of money yet will easily spend $500 on a ps3 or an iphone. Imagine how many trees we could save if more people used this instead of paper back.we buy things like clolthes,make up,shoes,cars etc things we don't need but the kindle is useless to most people simply cuz most people don't read unless it's a 20 word text message,most people won't read this comment cuz it's to long.LOL the masses are content with mindless consumerism.

I sort of agree. I think reading is not something the average person does for pleasure anymore.

I remember someone posting a medium-length rant on a forum I frequent, about how people have such short attention spans these days and want "info nao!" instead of spending time reading.

Comments to the post included "tl;dr".

most of my books are textbooks. i have access to electronic compies of some of my textbooks, but find it less convenient to flip and scan through pages, and i would imagine that i would have the same problem with this.

So if you can get subcriptions to magazines on the kindle, does it look EXACTLY like the magazine? Like pictures, cover, etc.

Does amazon charge tax for orders shipped to an Illinois address?

I'll take the paper books.

lmao, you'd rather use CD's than an ipod? See if im in my car I have 80 gigs of music to listen to at the touch of a button mounted on my dash. You couldn't fit that many CD's in your car. CD's are old news, so are DVD's and blu-rays IMO. Were entering an age where EVERYTHING is digital and can be stored on small hard-drives or more likely memory chips.

I don't need 80 gigs of music in my car, or a thousand CDs, just one at a time, because I tend to listen to entire albums, and don't drive that much. Since you brought it up though, I enjoy cassettes as well. :)

...And LPs, but not in the car of course. ;)

just for the record, cd's, dvd's and blu-rays are all digital media
