If you are married, then you really need a bigger purse. You should have room for all you take with you including space for a K3 (even though you have a smaller Sony) and all you the things your husband takes with him.

That's what the job of a wife's purse is. It's to hold her stuff and his.

And the job of a husband's wallet is to spend for him and her.

Well, until my Husband's spine can jump in and pull double-duty for mine, he gets to carry his own damn stuff.

Sorry Jon, but you got this wrong. The reason why guys have more muscles is to enable them to carry our stuff. Those who do are called Gentlemen. No lady would ever dream of schlepping more than the tiniest of handbags herself. To make sure even the dumbest guys get the idea, we have handles on our bags. This way we can show the bloke we have both hands full in case he dares to think we could carry a bag of groceries or, beware, luggage


Maybe I will hop around the corner tomorrow and check the Sonys out for myself. It's only a 10 min walk from home

You see the way it works, is that one you are married, the wife carries things for the husband because otherwise the husband would have to do things like have bulging pockets. And wives don't like this so they do a "give it here" and put it in the purse. I'm married. I know how this works. My parents are married. I know how this works. It's not a matter of being a gentleman. It's just the way things are. If the purse is not big enough for her stuff and his, then it's too small and it needs to go to the thrift shop and she needs to go buy a larger purse.

Yay!
Where did it say the HP version was only on the Black version?

So once he's able to do double duty then you get to carry his stuff. Shall we email him and tell him of this?

Because I have choices. I'm not emotionally attached to gadgets. If I'm not satisfied with something after using it long enough to ascertain the good and the bad, I sell it and move on.

Thats really not a bad idea actually. So many tech items today have bugs.(actually all of them) Plus not every device is for everyone and reviews cant always really give you complete insight if you will fully like it or not. The best way is to buy it and try if yourself for an extended period. If you dont like it , sell it on ebay a couple months later, get 80% of your money back and try again.

Eventually you will probably find one that you totally love and keep it until it stops operating.

So more or less asymptotically approximating the perfect ereader?
