Delighted to attend if you can offer a helping hand to get through the next 18,289 years so that I can be there... also let me catch up a bit on my 'To Read" list...

tubemonkey also uses MediaMonkey

Sorry,

I have been given to understand that if I get a twitter account my cellphone will start taking pictures of my unmentionables all by itself and send them to some nefarious figure who will tweet them to various and sundry young women and porn stars.

I don't think I am quite up for that sort of nonsense at my age.

This is like when people say that the iPhone is being copied because a device is rectangular, black, and has a touch screen.

Granted, some users don't like how the Kindle looks like, but most people do and it's a hit.

For me, it's about how a device FEELS. I'm indifferent to the Kindle look, but I adore the ease with which I can hold it. I've not held the new Nook, so I can't compare it. I've held the latest generation of Sony's, and they're too small and solid for me.

Actually they are all copying '2001: A Space Odyssey'.

It's odd I find that alot of kindle fan boys share alot of the same traits as apple fan boys, they seem to think they created the product itself. Just a really bizarre mindset.

another roll of the eyes.

Hardware they aren't even on the same planet, egads the kindle has always since day one looked like a stupid oversized calculator from the 80's. what is this guy smoking. and if he knows anything about eink like he claims then he would have been well aware of the fact that e ink corp. has announced no new advancements for 2011 and into 2012.

Wow just WOW

LOL on the epic response. i enjoyed reading. i lol'd.
