BUT, i would still buy a kindle for travel, because it would be so convenient. i hate having to make decisions about which books to take for a trip because i am a very fast reader and need many books for any week long trip. i like to carry-on only and its a great way to pare down. i would only use the kindle for travel situations and read the real thing at home. if i had money to throw around:)ms. mindlesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02472845738179189141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-71799964667669561292008-10-27T12:44:00.000-05:002008-10-27T12:44:00.000-05:00They simply cannot replicate the feel of a book in...They simply cannot replicate the feel of a book in your hand.

It seems like you could go to the library and get a book for $0 as opposed to the $310. For the record, I'm not a fan of audio books either.... puts me right to sleep.Katy McIntyrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13406953911847974342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-42241878837565387802008-10-27T07:21:00.000-05:002008-10-27T07:21:00.000-05:00ticonderoga pencils really are the best. as a teac...ticonderoga pencils really are the best. as a teacher, i find myslef using pencil far more often than the average adult and i always buy them, although they seem to walk away with my students far more frequently than the staples brand pencils...ms. mindlesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02472845738179189141noreply@blogger.com
