Me: It is an electronic book reader, you load ebooks and read them. Screen looks just like a normal book.
Them: Oh cool, how much did that cost?
Me: About $300.
Them: Can you do anything but read on it?
Me: Nope, purely for reading.
Them: Why would you spend $300 on something you can only read on, you could buy a book for $20.
Me: yep, and it would cost me $1000 for a bookcase to put it on!!.
Nice comeback!
