More on the Kindle

[jennythereader]

The Kindle is better than paper books because:
- easier to carry
- completely searchable
- get more titles instantly
- add your own footnotes and highlights, which are as searchable as the text itself
- 2G of memory, which translates to approx 1500 books

Paper books are better than the Kindle (or other ebooks) because:
- you can't get an ebook autographed
- you can't loan a friend an ebook
- you can't sell an ebook to a used bookstore when you're done with it

Well, if you're prone to doing that sort of thing you probably shouldn't be buying any expensive gadgets anyway.

Personally, I keep it in a safe place when it's not actively in use, and don't forget books on buses even if they're only $0.50 garage sale paperbacks.
