The Kindle is the greatest thing ever made! I'm not joking. It's rad. I now have downloaded The Road by Cormac Mccarthy and The Gamble by Thomas Ricks (Bush/Iraq shit). It loads books in like 10 seconds. The display is awesome. You can make NOTES!!! The prices are sub-paperback and you retain rights to them forever even if your Kindle explodes! Reading the thing is actually better than a book! You don't need to put your thumb in the fold! You don't need to lug around the bulk of the book! The damn thing can store roughly 1000 normal books! You can get foreign language newspapers for $.75! I can study German now with Germany's truly right-wing newspaper! Bad! The New York Times is $.75 an issue or $14/week!
This platform is no bullshit good.
Holy shit I'm pleased with this thing.
It is now addictive. If it had a penis I would work it!
And. God. The portability! Am I a bit too enthusiastic? Whomever's idea this was needs a giant pay raise and/or permanent harem. It is genious. You want to read the paper? Boom! Anywhere and not paper! It's easy. Amazon makes money. You just saw by chance a book review that interested you from a random source? BOOM! You can spontaneously buy the damn thing on the Kindle! Cha-Ching!
What a money making medium. I'm very impressed with the marketing strategy is what I'm saying.
Ok.
Why'd half of the last post disappear? I blame gremlins.

I blame myself for deleting it. Too graphic.
