About the books - I am considering getting a Kindle.
I ordered a Kindle the day they were announced and I could not live without it now. It's hard for me to read a real book -- I forget I have to read both sides! But with my Kindle I can have a book and "turn" the pages in one hand while holding a cup of coffee in the other hand. I have the Kindle app on my phone as well for on-the-go access to reading material. I also have to admit that at my age the ability to change the size of the text is indispensable.
