Anne's latest electronic curiosity
Dec. 4th, 2007 01:58 pmThe Amazon Kindle intrigues me.
Yes, it's too expensive right now. And it would be a tool simply for reading, only.
However, if you were already one to buy books outright instead of going to the library, your break even point, assuming paying full price of a hardcover, say $25 value, is 26 books.
And anywhere you can get Sprint's EVDO network, you can download a book for no addition cost but the cost of the ebook.
That's not too bad.
And it's easier to hold with one hand!
I'm not sold on it yet, but I'm curious.
