I'll keep my plain ol' Kindle, thank you very much. I got some new fancy smart phone that I have no clue how to use. Shouldn't sell those things to anyone over 40.

I wonder if the Kindle Fire will be any good. The price is impressive.

Anyone have a kindle with the ads? I'm wanting one and would get this 99 dollar touch version if I was certain the ads don't fuck up reading in any way.

It doesn't interrupt reading as the ads only play when you're not reading. Or so that's what I've read/seen.

How many free books on the kindle? How much do books cost? Can you rent books, like a lybairy?

Well, fuckloads is more than shitloads. There's nothing more than a fuckload.

Lots of free books but probably not many that you'd actually want to read. Books are usually $10 and under. Yes, you can now checkout books from the library.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll still buy one for her, though.
