Kindle Advice?

[Saddo]

Some great advice Bilbo, much appreciated.

While watching tv last night the Ipad2 advert came on and the person using it was reading a book using it, I mentioned to her, that looks cool, trying to get a respose for the Kindle, she only turns round and says, "well thats pointless, I would much prefer to read the book itself, it takes away the pleasure of reading, the smell of the book, the turning of the page"

So im now in two minds about the Kindle

my son thinks the same way but...the thing is mate not so long back people used to say downloading music just isn't the same as unrapping a new CD and it would spoil the whole experience of getting music.

and now i think CD buying of music is nearly a thing of the past and having all them disks stacked up looks shit LOL
