thoughts so far..
Why I got one? I just moved to a foreign country and donated to charity hundreds of books before the move, now hugley regretting that decision.....figured buying English language books and having them shipped from the UK would be costly and inconvenient so opted for a kindle...
Using: I like it, reads great and images, though black and white, are better than I expected, battery life is amazing, web browser is limited but OK, considering it's free....fine for checking email, however struggles with data input boxes, site searches and is there a back button? Interestingly you can pay to have kindle deliver blogs to your device which theoretically are free if you use the browser!
No regrets as yet but after paying 7.99 for a novel recently it struck me that there may be no competition in pricing, I'm probably never going to get the opportunity to buy a book "on sale", I can't "borrow" books, nor buy reduced price second hand books.....
Are there any options for any of the above, is it possible to convert books to pdf? would this be considered piracy? when until recently lending or giving someone a second-hand book wouldn't have been.....are we buying a "book" or a license to read?
