    Still not got it! Bank holidays are just a bane. It better come tomorrow. Or else! It's my day off too; it'll be like christmas!

    Glad you enjoy yours. I don't know what Eurostar is, but I'm sure it's Kindle-compatible.

    There are few things that suck more than eagerly waiting for something in the mail. Those things always take longer than usual to arrive.

    Eurostar is the train that goes through the Channel Tunnel...gives a direct rail link to Paris and Brussels and other European cities. I'm off to Lille for a few days in May.

    Sounds wonderful!

    I got my Kindle! So so good. So good.

    Did I mention it was good?

    The other day I saw couple of different makes at Sainsbury's and they were around £80... Capable of handling all the different formats.

    If I hadn't got one already, would have given them a try, no doubt.

    Enjoy, Brock!

    How odd. I just followed this link and discovered that the Kindle DX 9.7" is not available in the UK. If you want that model you have to buy it from amazon.com in the U.S.

    In the U.S. you can also get a 6" model that is discounted if you are willing to put up with a screen saver advertisement. No thanks.

    I'm going to buy a Kindle this month, but I don't know if I want the larger or smaller one.

    technology is developing everyday, long time ago, we can not image computer can not so many thing. Kindle may make us lose the original feeling fo reading. but it is really useful and convenient. so my opinion, just buy.
    now, i even make the use of the technology, running my online website
    www.chinasunstore.com a few years ago, i also think that online store can not be success, but now, i change. so, i suggest, just try something you never try.

    I bought a Kindle about 2 years ago. I wish I could buy all my books via Kindle, but many books are not available except for the recently published and older classics(many out of copyright). It will only be a short time until you all books will be ebook available.

    Pick your e-reader

    I'm thinking of getting a reader as a family gift for Christmas, but I can't decide which to get. I love the Kindle, but the new fire no longer has the e-ink technology. I like the old ones, but given that my kids are young and I like magazines too, I would love color. Size is important, so ideally an upgradable capacity would be nice. So that leaves the Nook color, which while more expensive, has most of what I would like. Or, as another option do I just break down and buy an iPad... So what do you think. Which is the best product on the market?

    Kindle is still the best option. Even without eink it is readable in sunlight for the most part. Kindle also has the best selection of any single ereader. But of course the iPad is a kindle and so much more, but more expensive
    I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...

    I thought I would hate e-readers, but I like my Kindle. Like you, though, I'm not sure about the Fire.

    I just keep thinking that the Fire is losing a lot. The one thing that the Nook is winning me over on is that I can add to the memory, which is lost with the Fire. Given that there will be three of us using this, it seems important, but I don't know how quickly I would really fill it up.

    My family is planning on buying me one for Christmas. Coincidence?
