The plastic baggie idea sounds intriguing. I eat enough finger food, that it might be worth it. I'll try that out.

Maybe they should make a kindle bluetooth footpedal for page turns, haha..

Kindles and ... food!

I love to read while eating my meals. If I have a paper book, I don't care so much if a blob of spaghetti sauce lands on the page, although it is pretty
traumatic if the same lands on my kindle!

I have not seen many kindles in the wild, although the last plane trip I took, I saw at least 4 Kindles onboard (not including my own).

Kindle 3 battery life

Hi,
I got my K3 on release day. Did a full charge when I got it (charged until the LED turned green). I installed 3 books, and then had two good reading sessions of maybe a few hours.

I don't much like the k3 keyboard. The letters printed on the keys are so small for my old eyes, that they are hard to discern in dim light.

Can anyone tell me how fragile the kindle screen is? I don't think it is made of glass, but is it as fragile as glass?

In my case, it is worth noting that I *had* to do a manual restart (from the menus) for the kindle to start acting normal again. The crash reboots never seemed to fix the problem.

Anyone using the Social networking feature

I noticed in the manual that you can post stuff to social networking sites (facebook). I haven't tried it yet. Is anyone out there using it?

Goodness, the korean font does look really bad! There's also some problem with correct spacing (kerning?). Being a korean reader, I don't think I'd like to read korean texts with that kind of font.
