Tesco have Kindles you can play with
They've had them in my local Tesco for a few months now, but only had empty boxes on display in the computer section. Now they have a demo unit on a stick that you can play with, the new one with the missing keyboard. It seems to have some sort of demo book running on it because it has big arrows over the text telling you what buttons to press to make it do stuff. I would have taken photos of it but I didn't want to get beaten up by their security staff.

Beaten up? Don't they use, I don't know, "words" like "I'm sorry, Sir/Miss, you are not allowed to make photos" or at least "Hey, you can't do that!!"?

You have weird shops where you live...

Ee by gum - tha' must have security staff a bit more butch than our softies down yer int' West, Mr Ploppy !

Our lot run and hide if more than three 13-year olds broach our local store's defences - they might get their hair-gel all mussed up.......

Mind you, that might be 'cos their truncheons, Mace and handcuffs got nicked....
