Official-looking Kindle 2 pictures and pricing leak out

Feb 8th 2009 4:30PM (Engadget)
You're not the only person. In fact, you're in the overwhelming majority. I know, it's surprising that sites like engadget aren't an accurate representation of the general population.

E-books are a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. You cannot compare it to the digital music revolution for some very simple reasons. Having thousands of albums available instantly has obvious benefits, due to the fact that songs are an average of 3 minutes long, and CD contains an average of 10-11 songs. I could listen to dozens of songs during my commute. A book, however, is a much different medium. You read one book at a time. Why would I possibly need to have every novel I own on my person at once? I'm not actively shuffling through pages of different books. I'm not talking about books that are uniquely formatted, or have color illustrations, because I assume that technology will someday solve those problems.

I'll admit I've never used a Kindle, but I haven't really run into problems with physical books. I can underline, bookmark, carelessly toss it into my bag, hand it to a friend, take it off of my bookshelf and flip through it when I'm bored, it never runs out of batteries and losing it would not be the end of the world.

Then again, I still buy CDs so what the hell do I know.

Got any gamer resolutions?

I have a nice resolution that I think will do a lot of you some good...

PLAY LESS VIDEOGAMES.

Moderation is key.

UK government: There is more to life than video games

"Lets see I rather meet a girl that will probably leave me in a few years for someone else. Oh lets not forget to procreate your way to a paycheck to paycheck life with that worthless trick. After that I will give my life to a make believe diety. YES THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN VIDEOGAMES!!! *SIGH*"

Maybe theres nothing more to your life than videogames, and judging by your attitude, that doesn't really surprise me.

You can always tell who has a gaming problem by their level of defensiveness.

First I take a really cool sounding word like SKULL or FLAME or DEATHKILLER. Then I procede to interject numbers and cool symbols and random wicked extreme letters like x and z. Then I randomly change the capitalization of said letters because I think it illstrates how I am a unique free thinker and don't live by any rules but my own.
