I am not, repeat not, being paid to agree with this extremely logical and well-stated obviously impartial response.

BTW, the 2-year extended warranty is only $65.00, and includes free replacement for one instance of accidental damage from dropping the device. How sweet is that?

EEEEEK!!! I think we've found an infiltrator!

So... now we're being infiltrated by Russians?

Hey I was just at a Barnes&Noble that I don't normally go to and they had a huge Nook display right at the front door. And I noticed a price tag on a couple of books listing the Nook Price (cheaper) compared to the pbook price.

No desire to buy one though.

Alexander, I think it would now be useful to let us identify those whom we suspect are spies (particularly the Amazonian ones). What do you think? Maybe you could modify the forum software to replace the "Karma" button with a "Honeypot" button so that we can start tagging them. And, if you like, you can go ahead and tag "Big Boy" Tom, Chicken Little, and Kenny (he probably thinks that's a clever disguise for "Kinny").

WT Sharpe · 05-02-2010, 12:36 PM

They're on to us, Kinny! Let the chicken know!

Oh, wait! This isn't a PM?

Never mind.

poohbear_nc · 05-02-2010, 12:39 PM

PS: Mother's Day is coming. What better way to say "Thank You" to the woman who was there when you needed her than by giving her a new Kindle International Edition?

I have just shown your excellent recommendation for Mother's Day to my hubby, and he is now sitting in the corner sucking his thumb, and has steam coming out from the top of his head.

Dear Abby: Did I do wrong?

Cheers.

Wait, it's "mother's day" isn't it? So, your kids should get it! It's not "wife's day", last I checked...

Pah.... the Amazon spies are simple to spot. The Amazon's a river, right? So anybody who has the word "iRiver" under their avatar is a stooge. Simple code for i (am an) Amazon.

But Amazon are amateurs compared to Apple anyway. Who would even remember the iPad launch if it wasn't for all those Apple-Haters and Fanboys endlessly rattling each others chains, eh? Apple employees - every last one of them.
