Google, Sony Attempt to Counter Amazon Kindle with 600,000-eBook Library
I think most of those books are probably available for the Kindle through other sources (Manybooks, Feedbooks, Project Gutenberg directly). I've always though Amazon was missing a boat by not converting all of Project Gutenberg to minimalistic Kindle texts and offering them for 5 cents each (to cover bandwidth costs) directly on the Kindle store - those of us that have grokked Feedbooks for the Kindle wouldn't use it, but many people would. They could increase the advertised size of their library quite a bit that way.
The only reason I DON'T eat Peeps is because CERTAIN PEOPLE think they turn me into a sugar-crazed and incoherent loony.
But that makes it sound like you turning into a sugar-crazed and incoherent loony is a bad thing.
You can download all of the Project Gutenberg books onto your Kindle for FREE! ND hasn't shown me how yet, but I know he's done it himself. I am madly in love with my Kindle 2 (which was his Valentine's present to me, that most excellent man of mine).

See, that's my argument. I've been told I'm all sorts of entertaining when sugar-crazed, so why shouldn't I eat Peeps?

I bet I know people who would help you prove your point. Maybe even this weekend.
You are SO entertaining when sugar-crazed! I vote PEEPS FOR JILLI!
Regarding Natasha Richardson, her death is upsetting me more than I would have expected it to. My heart goes out to her sons and her poor mother to have to lose a child a her age.
Regarding Peeps. I like them when they're left out of the package for a little while and go a bit stale.

I am planning on making people go out for chocolate martinis this weekend, so we get the double-whammy of sugar AND alcohol! What could be better? (Well, it would be better if there were more people who were going to be here, but alas.)

I think there should be a video of this.
yeah, the Natasha Richardson thing is very sad. It was almost exactly one year ago my niece went into that coma and died, so it's hitting everyone in my family quite hard.
