I guess the reason I wrote the post is because I have reservations about buying Kindle, at this point. <BR/><BR/>Some of it is because I don't want to spend the money. But honestly, the biggest reason is because I think that in the next year or two they will refine it the way Apple has refined the Nano.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to buy in too early.

I loves me some technology ...Don't let me fool you. I loves me some technology and my iPod is my favorite gadget of all. It has changed the way I listen to music and, with iTunes, and introduced me to a host of new artists.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940502776699227686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842906968815125638.post-68205072393761589332007-11-26T16:19:00.000-08:002007-11-26T16:19:00.000-08:00Tami,I love tech that makes my life easier. That's...Tami,<BR/><BR/>I love tech that makes my life easier. That's why I love my ipod. I can listen to music so much easier on it than on any other device. <BR/><BR/>So the thought of Kindle is very interesting. I love to travel and the idea of adding Kindle to my travel gear sounds great.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, as you point out, do I really want to add Kindle to my monthly expenditures? Especially since when I buy books I can find most of them at a reduced price. Once I get hooked on Kindle I have to pay whatever Amazon says.<BR/><BR/>I understand your thoughts on consumerism. I waited a very long time before I bought an ipod initially.<BR/><BR/>So I will ty to contain my excitment about Kindle for now.(Which is easy because they are currently sold out). <BR/><BR/>ThanksMes Deux Centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697034868111011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842906968815125638.post-19822882898246609652007-11-26T12:51:00.000-08:002007-11-26T12:51:00.000-08:00Arrrgh!

Then I read the Newsweek article this weekend and was intrigued.<BR/><BR/>As someone who always has at least three books going at one time, I like the idea of condensing my reading projects into one "book."<BR/><BR/>Also, I have books all over my house. They are spilling off of my shelves and stacked against the wall--very artfully I should add. I try to purge at least once a year, keeping my favorites, selling some on eBay and donating the rest to the library. But the Kindle could help me cut down on clutter.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, you can't replicate the feeling of cracking the spine on a brand new book with that "new book smell." Also, as I've been reading and thinking more about how consumerism is hurting our country, I am kind of rebelling against buying another high-riced gadget mascarading as something I "need."Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940502776699227686noreply@blogger.com
