I got my k2i just before xmas 2009 and it has changed my life... soooo many authors I've discovered that I otherwise wouldn't have... anyway... here are the reactions I get

(in order of the number of times I've been asked these questions.... starting with the most asked)

1) What's that? Oh, that's one of those "books" isn't it?

2) Is that one of those new iPads?

3) Where can I get one of those? *** YAY! A positive reaction in the top 5 !

4) Q: How much memory does it have?
A: About 1.5GB
Q: Only 1.5GB ?! ***that's the point where they usually laugh or snigger

5) Does it play video?

6) Does it do anything else?

THEY JUST DON'T GET IT, DO THEY?!

OH WELL, I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM.

EVEN WITH THE NEGATIVE AND STUPID QUESTIONS I GET ASKED, THE MAJORITY OF REACTIONS IS STILL VERY POSITIVE.

MOST PEOPLE ARE STUNNED AT HOW GOOD IT LOOKS... HELL, I STILL GET THE WARM-AND-FUZZIES WHEN I'M USING IT IN DAYLIGHT... THE KINDLE IS JUST SOOOOOOOOOOO COOL.

ONE THING THAT REALLY REALLY REALLY GETS TO ME THOUGH IS THE PEOPLE THAT ACT ALL HIGH-AND-MIGHTY ABOUT PREFERRING TO READ PRINTED BOOKS... ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ACT LIKE THEY'RE BETTER THAN US.

YES, I HAVE TO ADMIT I KNEW I WAS GOING TO MISS THE PRIDE OF WATCHING A BOOKMARK WORK ITS WAY THROUGH A NICE THICK BOOK, OR THE SMELL OF THE PAPER, OR HOLDING A BOOK AT THE END AND THE PRIDE OF THINKING TO MYSELF "I READ THAT", BUT SOME PEOPLE TREAT US LIKE WE'RE LEPERS OR SOMETHING... LIKE WE CAN'T READ PAPER ANYMORE LOL!
