that's what I suspected. It's just so pretty! I wanna use it for something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay competition in the marketplace!
Amazon Announces New Kindles: $139 Wi-Fi, $189 3G
Last night, Amazon announced an all new Wi-Fi only Kindle that starts at only $139 with a 3G-capable one for $189.
Amazon.com is excited to introduce a new generation of Kindle. The all-new Kindle has a new electronic-ink screen with 50 percent better contrast than any other e-reader, a new sleek design with a 21 percent smaller body while still keeping the same 6-inch-size reading area, and a 15 percent lighter weight at just 8.7 ounces.
Both models are slated for release on August 27th though Amazon has begun preorders. The new Kindle is also said to offer 20% faster page turns, up to one month of battery life, and double the storage to 3,500 books. The 3G Kindle offers over-the-air downloads of books for no monthly fee. The new Wi-Fi model will, of course, require you to be connected to a Wi-Fi network to purchase books.
If I had a Kindle, I think I could survive on just buying books while connected to WiFi....

Um, yes. I don't know why 3G would even be necessary. I buy all my books attached to home wifi.
D mentioned this to me last night, with a wistful "I guess we don't need anymore gadgets, huh?" I reluctantly agreed with him, but we don't!
Want, yes...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't know why 3G would even be necessary.
Airports, beaches.

Hey. New board.
Walking down the street to coffee shops. Coffee shops without free wireless. In bookstores. In hotel rooms without free wifi. At houses of old relatives without wifi. In cars (as a passenger of course).
I think the 3G is definitely worth a one-time $50 investment. Not so much the monthly iPad costs (I would go wifi only there) but $50 once is cheap.

I guess I just don't get out that much to places where there isn't wifi. For a trip, I preload books onto the touch, and all my friends, if I am babysitting or something, have the Wifi.
My mom and dad do, too, so I'm pretty set.

Airports without free wifi, when you run out of books to read!! If it were a monthly cost, yeah, I could see it, but as a one time thing...seems worth it to me.

Just gotta take a moment to thank Erin and dcp again for helping me through my Skype orientation last Thursday. Except for quite oddly having disconnect my schmancy microphone, to be heard, my Skype therapy session this evening went off beautifully.
Tanx!
