I hear so many criticisms of the Kindle along the lines of "You don't really NEED a dictionary. You can just grab a dictionary and look stuff up. You don't really NEED to search. If I want to search my books, or the web or Wikipedia I just do it on the computer. You don't really NEED to access the store from the device. It's easy to go online from your computer, download the books and transfer them via USB." Yeah. I don't NEED any of this stuff but put it all together and it enhances my reading experience. I'm not a technophobe. I'm quite capable of managing my devices without everything being done for me. But when you have something that just works and works elegantly, it's a joy to behold, like your Mac. (Ubuntu, for me.)
