Has anyone else caught the Kindle bug?
E-book fever.

No. I decided if we every become a totalitarian state, it won't be as much fun stomping on a bunch of electronic tablets as it would be tossing bookins into this enormous campfire.

I purchased one for my father, and he is quite complimentary about it.

Actually yes but only because I was given one. Even so, I probably spend just about as much time online with it (it is my only source of internet at home currently) as I do reading ebooks on it.

No I haven't, and I don't really plan to. When it comes to reading I am much the traditionalist. I love my books , and will continue to cherish every one I buy until they're taken completely off the market.

I thought that too right up til I figured out much like red that I can bump the font and size to read without my glasses in bed.

I'm near sighted. I don't need glasses to read, just for everything else....glasses I currently don't have and can't afford, but that's beside the point.

I love my Kindle, although at the moment, I'm rocking it old school, reading a book my SIL sent me for Christmas, and rereading a series, the latest installment of which I now have on Kindle. I wasn't sure about it for a long time, but then I test drove the hubby's and deemed the experience awesome. I like, too, that I can bump up the text size. I find I'm needing to do that here and there as I get older. And I love that I'll never have to buy another bookshelf; I don't have room for another one anyway.
