No exercise for me. I would rather just sit and read.

I have a kindle.

vivaldirules · 06-04-2009, 04:58 PM

At lunch today I ran into a curious little fellow. He said he had something special he was trying to get rid of and, just to be nice, I told him I'd try to help him. Oddly, he couldn't openly talk about it in public - something about strange people (creatures?) chasing after him. So he slipped me a piece of paper with some odd writing on it. By this time I was convinced he was a loony. But I have since translated it and I'm now a little worried:

Three Kindles for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Kindle to rule them all, One Kindle to find them,
One Kindle to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

I think we could be in trouble here. But in the short term, would this help the count any, Grandma?

Three Sonys for the Elven-kings overseas,
Seven Kindles for the Dwarf-lords in Amazon,
Nine Logics for Mortal Men doomed to wait,
A Touch for the Dark Lord or a white iPhone
In the Land of Stevejobs where the Apple lies.
One iTablet to rule them all, One iTablet to find them,
One iTablet to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Stevejobs where the Apple lies.

We couldn't have done it without all the help from the Hobbits.

hillncharge, let me be the first to welcome you to Mobileread.

Are you enjoying your kindle? What do you like to read?

Have you downloaded any of the books we have available here? You will want the mobipocket.

Don't hesitate to ask questions, or to jump in on any thread that interests you.

Kindle percentages are going DOWN .....

jwilker · 06-05-2009, 10:12 AM

Definitely an intersting poll. Kindle here

I'm glad so many have readers of any kind. I'm finding more and more people i know end up owning something (usually a Kindle, guess they don't come here, LOL) Cool to see eReaders out there more and more. I'm slowly working on my wife

I have Kindle but did look at the Sony because I did not like the look of the K1. I got it anyway because the whispernet was what I wanted most. I also ended up getting the K2, better looking, and gave my mom the K1. Will I get the DX? I have to wait to see what Apple is going to do next week at WWDC and my K2 is only 6 months old so I don't forsee getting another reader until 2010.

Sony readers have been around for a lot longer than the Kindle so I'm not suprised by the numbers.
