To Buy Or Not To Buy

I agree that the new Kindle Fire looks cool, but if I wanted a tablet I would buy an Ipad. Rebels don't like to follow the herd, but sometimes, you just got to do what a man has to do, and in that case, if you want a tablet, the Ipad is the choice.

I use my Kindle 3 for reading books. Not magazines, not web browsing, not playing games, but reading books. It is superb at that, and as long as I don't expect anything else from it, it is wonderful.

For me, I will stick with the K3. I might be tempted to buy the new Kindle 3 with keyboard, but I don't see any difference between the one listed and mine. The price is nice but that appears to be the only difference.

After using my wifes Ipod, I can not imagine reading books on a touch screen device. How long would it be before you couldn't see the words from all the skin oils, not to mention if you happen to be eating PB&J.

Nope, I firmly believe in the adage, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Having said that, I will say that if a new Kindle comes out, with Eink, and keyboard, that has more memory, or an SD slot, or that allows me to read other formats, or is different without changing the fundementals, I will be the first in line to purchase one.
