"See a Kindle 2 in your city" get together thread
Ok, I have this idea. How about if Kindle 2 owners can meet with other (prospective) owners to share their wonderful new experiences. Sounds great?
I suggest you write down in this thread whether you own a Kindle 2 or not and where (city, place, etc.) you would like to meet. Tad EDIT : please do this by adding a post in the "the official "see a device in a café near you" hookup thread" ! if we keep all these posts grouped together it makes it easier to find them. also, PLEASE ADD YOURSELF TO THE MOBILEREAD FRAPPR MAP !! you can mention which device you have (if any) in the comment. thanks ! -zelda pinwheel |

hey tad, this is a great idea, but we actually already have a thread for organising individual meets ! it's in the "which one should i buy" forum over here so you might not have seen it. rather than creating a second one, perhaps we could ask people to add their message to that thread and keep everything all together.
also, a great way to find people near you when you want to see a device is to add yourself to the mobileread frappr map ! please do that as well ! you can even leave a comment to say which liseuse you own. |

They'd know about it when there are new messages and it moves to the top of the new messages list.

actually it's a sticky. so how about i make this thread a sticky as well, but add a link to the original thread in the first post, and close this thread ? i think it's best to keep all these posts grouped together.

Count me in the group who had no idea that thread existed. When I came to MR, I already knew what reader I'd be buying, so never popped my head in there.

Why can't it just be a "meet and show off your e-book reader device "like the others here? You aren't even including K1 owners! The K isn't the end all of devices, and people need to start realizing that. Its not a "one size fits all' device, and there are other just as worthy ones out there. |

Tyler, if you are just looking to see a K2, you can use the Amazon "see a Kindle in your city" discussions page also.
Here is the link for the California page. http://www.amazon.com/tag/see%20a%20...d_i=1000230941 |

Pretty good idea, but with my constant moving that might be hard.
