Well, I didn't SEE a Kindle, but had mine out at the docs office today......
An older couple came and sat next to us, and the man started telling his wife "look look theres one of those things!! Ma'm, can I see your thing???"
So I showed it to him (did I let him hold it? Heck no!) And he was going on and on and his wife was smacking him on the arm going "yes, dear, maybe for Christmas, I know its the new TOY you want", all the while giving me that "I'm just gonna humor him" look.
I couldn't help myself.
First thing I said was "Its NOT a toy, if you like reading, its an irreplaceable part of your life, and explaining the benefits, etc. There was a couple next to them, and they were really interested in what I was saying, etc. They love the screen, and how fast the pages turned and had never even thought of the 1000's of free books that were available......not to mention the adjustable font size......
The wife back off pretty quickly and repeated the part about the Christmas gift in a more serious tone.......
Will he get it? Doubtful.
But I feel better......
