Well, this post is the best thing ever.

Clearly someone should sell a pointless but far more expensive imitation of this post on Amazon. In fact, I think Amazon scientists are working on it as we speak.

Sorry. I saw ‘Amazon’ and thought this was the Rosie O’Donnell blog. I guess I’ll have to look under: fat, depressed, ugly, angry, rug licking, bull-dyke. http://www.NeilsNotes.com

I’ve actually had to purchase 3 Kindles. They’ve really made my life easier. I’m no longer beaten up every 3 hours, due to the fact that I’ve started keeping my red wagons filled with books in the garage with my teddy bears. Once they invent something to prevent me from spitting when I talk, wearing glasses that are comically hideous, and writing “Courtney LOVES Bobby” all over my books only to have Bobby see them and punch me in the face.. I’ll be on the way to total popularity. Thanks, Kindle!!

uk portable gps…

Garmin is one of the most trusted names in the gps industry, and owning a Garmin gps unit is a great step in the right direction with some of the best navigation technology around….

I bought a Kindle and have to say that I really like it. I’ve download hundreds of books for free from Project Gutenberg and bartleby.com (entire Harvard Classics bookshelf) and loaded them onto my Kindle. I have so many books on the thing I needed to get an additional storage card. In other other words, I now have an entire library of books contained in a single book (the Kindle) — it will take me years to finish reading everything. Lastly, the electronic ink is far easier on the eyes than backlit computers.

Not clever by half, nitwit. Try the following - when you are 77 years old and all book type looks like ant footprints, you might like a Kindleesque reader. When you want to read a foreign newspaper and you don’t live in Harvard Square, you might appreciate a Kindle-type reader. When you are on a business trip and you want to take the four books you have been reading, you might like to use a Kindle. In short, there are a number of good reasons why someone may use this technology. Is it a killer appliance? Not at all. Is it a replacement for the traditional book? No. But the magnifying glass or reading glasses were never considered replacements for eyeballs. The Kindle and its ilk are additions or compliments to books. I just can’t help but wonder why people with your obvious intellegence think stating clearly weak, poorly thought out opinions, are ok, simply because you turn a funny phrase on occasion. You’re not funny, smart or clever when your logic is missing. Dave Barry can do it because he is a professional - work on your game, amature.

Just brought my Kindle to a book signing. The author refused to autograph my newest electronic wonder. Can you believe it? Finally, after I practically begged, she agreed to lick the screen. I hope she brushed her teeth.

Perfect fodder for the upcoming Fahrenheit 451 remake.

I was just thinking “You know, I need a reader for my books other than my laptop.” Now, I need a reader for my reader, than someone with eyes that still work properly to read that to me!
