@netsyd

Thanks! This looks like a promising device. now to find someone with a good return policy! This "MIDnite" place will even throw in a built-in GPS module for $15. I've been looking for a new GPS! And a 7" deal? All for under $230?! It may be resistive, but I've never had a capacitive device. I had a Nokia N800 which I loved to pieces, but the abandoned OS made me sad.

@Klondike.

Nah, I'm no hacker. Although, I did put custom screensavers within the first two hours. Emily Dickinson is -not- a pretty lady.

I HAVE read a bit into Treasure Island, the original book to my favorite movie "Treasure Planet." I checked it out in 7th grade, but I couldn't have been less interested. Though I've made it through 15% of the book according to the kindle! I do love that feature of the kindle. When I read books, I want to know how quick I'll get through it. If I see that I go through 8% in 10 minutes, I'll then calculate and such. It's a little quirk I have.

I just may have to pay a visit to the recommendation section. Even if I don't keep the kindle, I can still read! My eyes are still quite young and not bothered by LCD screens. Between my job and what Id o at home, I probably look at LCD screens for over 10 hours a day. I get a headache maybe once every month and a half. And a quick aspirin clears it up in 15 minutes.

But thank you guys for reading that massive wall of text!
