That is one aspect of the Kindle nobody has yet to mention. How easier it is to spend too much on ebooks. You are correct in that it is a new level of easy to overspend.

Very easy. While I exaggerated, I didn't actually spend near the house payment, it is frightening to me how much I spent without realizing I'd spent it. Enough that I had to transfer funds from one account to another, and ask my husband not to use his bank card until this deposit posted - which was embarrassing. Bless him, all he said about it was "I was worried about that happening".

LOL Is this where I confess "Hi, I'm Detour and I'm a bibliophile. I admit I am powerless over my need for everything bookish" I don't think I could stick with the program, I'd fall off the library cart.

Yeah, I would totally go overboard with book buying on a kindle. With the Sony I utilize the wish list feature pretty heavily (and when I'm away from a windows computer I use a shopping list app on my treo to keep track of that stuff). If I bought everything right away I'd have made some pretty stupid purchases. Going back and looking at my wishlist sometimes it's like "what was I smoking that day?!"

I use the wish list everywhere else, too. Including for Amazon pbook purchases. I've had the same experience of finding things on wish lists that I never really wanted. The Kindle thing is just too easy. I guess I felt like I was wish listing only I was committing.

I prefer BBU -- Book Buyers Unanimous.

Where do I sign up for this one? Are there field trips to remote rare and exotic book stores?
I just found out that Kindles are selling on eBay for a thousand dollars! Wish I hadn't already promised this one to someone.
