They don't know their tech. though. They refer to the Kindle as a tablet. There is a bit of difference between a Kindle and a Tablet computer. I'm sure you would stand out with a gold Kindle, but I have to wonder if that would be a good thing. Any mugger worth his work would be flocking to you on the street to relieve you of both the Kindle (assuming a pickpocket didn't beat him to it) and any other valuables you happen to have with you.

Well I would hope it works for how much they are charging for it!

I would imagine the gold would void the warranty?

Wonder if you can cover it under Square Trade - with a 40% off code.

You think you could take cover underneath that?

I would assume that after having your kindle gold plated that you would use it to display nicely illustrated books and place it neatly onto your coffee table.

They will sell their stuff like hot cakes to the Nouveau Riche Russians. Why didn't I think of it?

Dylrob · 05-14-2011, 10:30 AM

Why... Just why?

Okay, there's been discussion about people "flaunting" their ebook readers in public, and everyone says, "No, no, I don't flaunt my reader! I'm just reading!"

Except...anyone with one of these!
