Kindle

[threemeninaboat]

John's sister-in-law, trying to be nice, got us a Kindle as a wedding gift. The one with the keyboard. John picked it out.

So far our relationship has gone like this:

*poke* *poke* *poke* "It's broken."
"It's not broken. It's just not a touch screen."
"What???? It looks like the Apple IIe. I hate the buttons, they hurt my hands. I hate the screen, it's dark and ugly. I hate that moving motion it makes when I turn the page. The internet sucks on this. None of the books I want are available. Why is it in black and white? The translator sucks.... I hate this more than I hate Apple products (I never thought I'd hate anything more than Apple products)."

So.... it's John's Kindle. Every time I try to use it I hate it more. He likes it though. Probably because it looks like an oscilloscope.

I can get a huge collection of books through other channels that aren't available through the (absurdly limited) Amazon Kindle store. My reach is not infallible, but it's long. Let me know what (either of) you would like for it.
