Well I bought one and used it for a few weeks but returned it to Amazon. It seems that many of the books I read are not on the $9.99 list and end up selling for about $16. I read 2 or three books a week and that is NOT cost effective. I guess I'll stick with the "real thing". \alan

Well I still read books and magazines that are paper based. I used the Kindle for a few weeks but found that the books I seemed to want were always $15 or more and I read at least 2-3 books per week, so I sent it back. I have books loaded on my Palm TX and read on it when I travel. alan
