I'm kind of surprised at how much flack you got from your comments/questions. We usually welcome newcomers before we start flaming them! 
So, welcome to MR!  and best of luck with your decision. |
I think what most pissed *ME* off was his attitude that it was up to everyone else to somehow 'justify' his keeping the Kindle. Say what?!? It was a *GIFT*! That means it didn't cost him *ANYTHING*! (Insert obligatory 'gift horse' aphorism here.)
IOW, he could have stomped it into a million pieces and not taken any fiscal damage. Or, he could have taken the time to learn to appreciate the feature set of the *GIFT* he received. Instead, he came here and pretty much demanded that total strangers pander to him by 'proving the worth' of the Kindle. Say what!?!
Yeah. I hope he stays around too, because ebook readers - especially Kindles - are wonderful things. But I'm not going to do his homework for him.
