Oh great and wise flist....
Sep. 14th, 2010 06:19 pmDoes anyone have any first-hand experience with an Amazon Kindle?
My neighbour at work showed it to me on the website, 'cause he's looking to replace his books due to lack of shelf space. While I will always love books, and don't intend to stop buying them, I gotta admit I don't have too much room either. Plus there are times when something like a Kindle would be really, really useful.
Case in point, I need a copy of the A-text edition of Christopher Marlowe's 'Doctor Faustus' asap to continue with my studies. It's ranging from £5 to £8 depending on if I get it off Amazon.co.uk or pick it up in a shop - however, I could download it off kindle for under a pound.... Would never fully replace the hardcopy, 'cause it helps with those kind of books to be able to see both the prose page and the notes page at the same time, but still!
Tempted to download the PC version of the Kindle reader too....
Any thoughts guys?
