Kindle

I got a Kindle for my birthday last month. The jury is still out but leaning to the "like it" side. It has 3G tech and is stupidly easy to get books (kind of dangerous since they do still have a price). But the catalog of free classics is pretty extensive and I have found myself browsing through some pretty cool stuff. Such as the "Rough Rider's" journal penned by Teddy Roosevelt himself. It, of course, is retyped word-for-word in e-book format. Pretty cool.
It has a browser, but is very clunky to use. Still a lot of stuff I have to read up on and figure out, but I have enjoyed reading books on it. It is kind of neat to walk out of the house with a folder no bigger than a day-planner with potential for hundreds of books at the fingertips.
