If you are a READER of books you are going to luv the Kindle. I got one and it is great. Yes I have a reams worth of pre purchase documents I printed up when I was doing my due diligence but after buying and using the device many of the complaints and quibbles I read now seem trite and small. This thing is a book readers best friend. Just buy the thing kid. I have always been an avid reader and still the Kindle has increased the amount of reading I do. There are many many sites on the net that will help you get the most out of the device. Why R U still reading this.........get crackin and buy the thing.

I won't be able to afford one for ages, though. On the bright side, by the time I have the money they will probably have worked any bugs out of the design. Great, now I want one too!

It'd actually fit within the $300 without requiring you to spend $100 more. :-P My hardcover LotR book seems to be better than glued together. I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking at so I could be wrong. And my comm textbook is printed on acid-free paper. Still, you definitely have a point.

I see exactly what you mean. I'm a lover of books myself, as is my mother. For example one of the things I love about books is the smell they have. Old books generally have a better smell than the newer ones, and sometimes particular genres seem to have a certain odour to them. The quality of the make of books today has definately declined and I only hope that your prediction is correct - that soon books will be put together in a way that is worthy of them being called a book. Like other book-lovers, I have no problem with paying a little bit more for something that will increase the lifespan and readability of the book.
