Mists of Avalon/ Kindle anyone? Yes, I'm still stuck reading this book. I'm three-quarters through it, but I started it back in March.
It's pretty interesting version of the authurian legend. I've liked it/disliked it for the last three months. I like it for the medieval story, but I've disliked it for clogging up my reading pile because I don't like it enough to burn through it.

Does anyone have a kindle? I saw a lady reading from one at lunch and since then I've been thinking I should get one. It seems like it might be a colossal waste of money. Fitting loads of books into a thing the width of a pencil is neat but not necessary for me.
Has anyone used a Kindle or Sony reader? Do you like it?

1) Never used one. I listen to books and really like that. Merrick and I talk about the narrators and how we like and dislike them for different reasons. I think they can bring something new to the book but it does take some getting used to to listen instead of use your eyes. I spend so much time on a screen--my eyes struggle to read a lot but by listening my eyes get a break and I still enjoy the books. If you get one, let us know how you like it! I don't think I will ever go that route because I have enough screen strain on my eyes from work. :)

RW Thursday, June 11, 20093) I read in the paper this morning about the new Kindle that's out and there happened to be a guy on my plane on Monday that had one. I overheard him tell someone that he loved it, mainly because he can download magazine and newspaper subscriptions to it. Seems neat but $400+ for a virtual book seems really overpriced. Also, it stores up to 3,500 books. I won't come even close to reading that many in my lifetime. That's like a small library. Craziness. So my take is that it's way overpriced, but then again I'm not an avid reader like you are. Denny Deaton Thursday, June 11, 2009

I've considered getting one for my hubby, but he's not as much of a reader as I am. I haven't seen one in person, though, and I'd want to do that before I bought one. But I've heard great things. girlcarew Thursday, June 11, 2009
