The Kindle is well worth the investment. I'm sure those who own Sonys and others will say the same about theirs.
I'm not saying its not expensive, especially in todays economy. I'm just saying its worth the sacrifice of saving for it.  |
Well said DG. I second that.
I remember when I first learned about the technology, I was very hesitant. I can't even remember what pinned it down. But I asked for it for my birthday (figuring I couldn't justify spending that much on it). Now the darn thing is attached to my hip.
The person who bought it for me (my mom), now has one courtesy of yours truly, so it all worked out evenly in the end
