    i love my books. but this is pretty fail video. i mean, its like music: if you wanted to hear a performance back you used to have to buy it on wax and have a record player, now you can just have files on a computer or you portable device, it doesnt mean the music isn’t still there, it just means its in a different media. i collect books and record, but im not gonna deny its the 21st century now and most people will have albums on their ipods instead of a huge record collection.

    I suppose I should keeping buying CD’s for the awesome liner notes and the resale value. lol. C’mon the kindle isn’t going to replace vibrant colorful graphic novels. This is a replacement for your newspapers and dog eared paperbacks that you would tote around. Your daily reading pretty much. I rolled my eyes at the guy talking about “checking myspace” while you read a book. If you tried to sell the kindle as some sort of tablet PC for web browsing you’d totally fail.

    so…..a month in Europe, and my choice is 5 travel guides, and 4 or 5 novels…..that’s 10 books to card around versus a Kindle?
    I’ll keep my Kindle, thank you very much.

    That’s why I read ebooks now. I don’t have to drag boxes to used book stores. And, this video makes an interesting point. You unload two or three books and have to drag the rest home. Not only that, but most of the shops I have been to offered instore credit, not cash.

    I love non-fiction books and haven’t read a fiction book since 1992.
