Gadget...yeah or nay?

Have you seen THIS? I just today learned about it. Probably if I watched more TV than Fox News and Disney I would have heard about it earlier. It is the second edition already so I guess it's been around a while. But pair my lack of TV watching and my lack of tech-y knowledge and it's really no surprise that I just now spotted it. On a crafty blog no less.


It seems to have a lot of pros, but I am wondering how satisfying it is to read a book on a mini computer screen? I mean take away the tactile act of turning pages and how would it feel to read a book? I'm not sure I would like it. But on the blog I read about it on, she has tons of positive feedback-you can check it out HERE.

And I do read A LOT of blogs, so what would be the difference? Well, I won't be getting one anytime soon, because it's far down on my list of gadgets-to-buy and at $350 a pop, it probably won't be moving up the list to quickly. Oh and guess what? We just bought a camera. This time not from a scam website! I'll post more on that later...

I was debating on weather or not to get it myself. I love to read and I thougt it would be so neat to download books, news articles maagzines whenever I liked with out having to go to the store. I ended up getting an IPOD touch. Which I LOVE there is an app on there that allows me to download and read kindle books ect.. So I can download anwhere with WiFi and read, I can surf the net, watch videos, play games, listen to music ect.. I love it. Plus there is no monthly fee like with the iphone, you just have to be in a wifi area to connect online. I think the kindle connects anywhere anytime right?

I wanted one so bad when they first came out. Had no debit card so I bought a sony reader instead. then I was introduced to ctmh. so I ebayed my sony reader so that I could buy lots of ctmh stuff... lol.

I would LOVE to have a kindle 2 but if I'm honest with myself, I wouldn't read it because I'm so completely addicted to scrapbooking and cardmaking.

I love the digital world and gadgets, but I am inclined to buy something that extends my senses and creativity. Not so attracted to extending my comfort zone.

I am a sucker for a good camera, for a Silhouette Quickutz, not so much for Kindle...
