Kindle

If I were rich, I would get a Kindle and every book I could think of to put on it. If I were given a Kindle, I would go out of my way to use it as much as I could, and probably like it. But I am not rich, nor have I been given a Kindle. So I am not getting one.

For that matter, I don't see much point in spending $10 a book to duplicate the vast number of books I already have. For new books, ok, but to re-read the books I like, I'd still have to carry them with me. I'm not paying twice for books I already own.

Besides, as tech-savvy as I am, I'm also old-school. I like books made out of paper. =p

While I'm at it, do they carry manga on the Kindle? I'm betting they don't.

Like I said, if I was given one, I'd use it. For $360, I damn sure wouldn't leave it sitting in the closet. It does seem really cool, and if I had the money to throw around I would get one. I'm not going to lie: the techie-nerd bookworm within me would love to have it. But I know I don't really need one, aside from not being able to afford one.

That being said, I'm curious how well it actually works. Does anybody own a Kindle and feel like sharing their opinion?
