I just found an unopened handheld steam cleaner. You put water in it and it heats up and pressurized steam comes out! I just cleaned my fridge and a door and a floor! It was like a zapper gun that kills dirt by boiling it alive! I have never seen these surfaces this clean!
What the hell is that?
Very yes if you read a lot and aren't attached to physical books.
Do you like to read? If so it is awesome.
If not, it is crap.
I mean, it basically has one utility and is excellent at it. This is like the easiest decision in the world, man.
That's part of what annoys me. I know that. I understand it.
But then part 2 chimes up with "yeah, but remember what hugs felt like? oh wait, I guess you don't!" and I go all RAIDEN SMASH.
edit: and yeah _J_, the kindle is pretty awesome.
That is amazing.
Take it on the subway and hope for the best.
The WiFi version is $140!!
I'm probably going to be like one of those farts who only listens to vinyl records.
My future students will laugh at me when they submit their i@e-ssays.
I tried to quantify hugs / fornication / kissing into discrete units of enjoyment and then compare those units of enjoyment to things which could be obtained independent of a relationship.
I think you will find that if you think about it for a while, you can be pretty happy independent of a relationship and find fulfillment being alone. Then, if you eventually find someone, they can be an addition to your life as opposed to the entirety of your life.
But that's me trying to find a way to deal with the fact that the woman I love is married to an asshat and i'll never get to be with her.
Also, having a digital copy of a book is handy for long trips, but I too like having physical copies of them. Particularly for lavatory visits.
This is great. These things are gonna be free in cereal boxes in a few months.
Any reasonable person would be disappointed with us.
looks Czech
$139 for a wifi-only Kindle is nuts.
And to be honest, the 3G is nice but not necessary. Unless you have such a hard-on for reading that you cannot wait to get into a WiFi spot before acquiring your next book.
the plot got kind of experimental in the 80s when Wolverine spent a summer in Prague
I don't think browsing through a kindle is ever going to have the same level of satisfaction as browsing a bookshelf.
I like the idea of e-books because it saves space in my bag, but on a visceral level it's just not the same.
that is pretty cheap
but I want an ipad v2
What do you mean? The 3G access will always be free.
seeing as my new commute from Westchester will give me ample time to read.
e-ink screens are nice and a kindle is a hell of a lot more portable than a library
I still can't afford one, nor would I take full advantage of it, but I am really excited about the competition between Barnes and Noble and Amazon. It's amazing.
Until it isn't. Unless it always is.
he... uh... drank a lot of beer, or whatever else the city’s famous for
also apparently my guess was right
I would love to get rid of the stacks of bankers boxes full of journals taking up all the leg room under my desk.
if it is a city in europe, it is famous for beer
Uh you know you only need online access for purchasing books right, not reading them? Unless you really neede new books ALL THE TIME the 3g isnt really worth it.
Especially because a lot of the places you're likely to read these days will probably have wi-fi. You're not going to be buying new books while walking down the street.
Unless it is Polish, where it is famous for Vodka.

I usually get tired after ten or so hours. I'm starting to think about a kindle if only for the purpose of reading all the academic journals and articles and whatnot I have been going through lately.
I wonder how many textbooks are available on Amazon in digital format?
this is p. sad
