    I love the idea of a $139 Kindle, if you want one. I paid $269 for mine. (Kindle II) However, after a year and a half with it, and reading The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, along with many other books, I find I prefer to simply buy a used book on Amazon, pay the 3.99 shipping, and it is cheaper by far, assuming I get the book for under four bucks, which, usually, I do. I bought several great “like new” paperbacks for a couple of bucks plus the 3.99. And, I get the WHOLE book, with MUCH better graphics and pictures. All in all, I don’t like my Kindle II much at all compared to a good book.

    Kindle! For people who can’t stand the dark.

    Books! For those of us who still want to be able to read our documents many decades after we acquired them.

    Just a matter of time before we stop reading books and magazines on dead trees. Magazines will transition first to electronic display viewing because they are generally disposable content and a greater opportunity for advertisers.

    Pedrito, how do you stay in touch in the electronic age? Fax or Western Union?

    Ironic that I read “Kindle Sells Out” and wondered who that noble underdog and champion of the poor author, Amazon, could have cravenly given in to.

    Here’s an idea, Don’t drop ANY phone!

    Up next, Apple’s Drop Test videos.

    Dallas, I believe Pedro’s high-tech includes the weed whacker and the leaf blower. Part of his heritage…

    Even with such expansions, I know of a few glitches in the market. For instance, let’s look at the steady price drop (http://pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=RB837VA3MZT&preview=article&linkid=21f62024-21dd-428b-8996-3455bc51ddaa&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d)

    Anyway, all pieces to the puzzle, right?
