I want to win so I can get a reader for my wife. My wife, I love her so. But sometimes she needs to get hit over the head with a new idea before she sees it for what it is.
I was an early adopter of Tivo. I talked about getting one for months. She couldn't see the point. Pause live TV? Please. Recording? That's what VCRs are for. Within 48 hours of getting the Tivo hooked up, she was in love and couldn't figure out how she ever survived without it. Cell phones and text messaging? I've had a cell phone since the mid 90's. My wife, she never saw the point. Sure, it was helpful occasionally, but who needs to text? Who needs a phone on them all the time? She saw it as emergency use only and thought carrying one was like wearing a life preserver 24/7. I bought her a phone 3 years ago. Again, she wonders how she ever lived without one. Repeat this with laptops, iPods, digital cameras...
So, I know the same thing is going to happen with a reader. She commutes by train and bus about 90 minutes a day and reads more than I do. I don't know which reader she'd want, probably a 505 or a K2. If I won this for her, I'd make her sit down and pick one, then I'd force her to use it. Then I'd spend the next week hearing about how it was the best thing ever.
