yep! i'm getting mine and true, while you could do a lot of good reading on ipod touches, iphones and ipads as well as the boatload of other tablet devices coming our way, i think that the tremendous but somewhat underdiscussed advantage of the kindle is FREE 3G!
(for the $189 3g device of course)
you have an always on connection to the internet and although the browsing experience is far from cool, sleek or ideal, the fact that you can always just google something or check your mail or whatever without paying the minimum 3g connectivity fees which are at least $40 a month (and going on $70 and more a month if it's a cellie) on every other device.... that's pretty huge.
casey's comment about the coming apocalypse just sounds like the embodiment of "misery loves company".
get OFF the self help bs casey. it IS BS. they are based on "the useful lie".... the truth can paralyze, a lie may inspire action which at least will not GUARANTEE FAILURE like inaction.
but it is still a lie. don't go down as the poster child of the failure of the self help movement.
the world is NOT fair, you CANNOT do everything you set your mind to, resources ARE limited and the top 2% control more of the resources than the bottom 98% COMBINED! that is not because the world is FAIR or the race goes to the swiftest or that 98% of us are lazy bums.
it is a lie that the rich tell to keep the poor from the pitchforks and torches and a lie the poor tell themselves to keep themselves from slitting their own throats. but it is still a lie.
couch it as benignly as you can think, like "having external income to do what you want"... take that apart - do you think that in a world where most of the population lives hand to mouth - does that honestly sound like a MODEST GOAL?! that is the exact equivalent of "wanting to win the lottery"...!
do you think it is not in fact just buying (desperately) into nuvo "GET RICH QUICK" schemes?
all anybody wants to do is "do what they want"... ack....
"entrepreneur" is one way of putting it. inability to grow up and get a job may be another.
you are consumed in labels and hide behind them. what are you if you can't use the label "entrepreneur"?
alas - if you must continue on the path you're on, beat the drum as loudly as you can for kiosaki and their "get rick quick" ilk that you hold dear.
at the very least, you can serve as a warning to others.
but here's hoping you get your head out of the clouds and knuckle down to reality and get your life in order and stop jumping from one movement to another trying to get your fix of FALSE HOPES.
reality is prosaic, dull, monotonous, boring and WORK. fairy tails need not apply. and in my bones, i feel like the quicker you can accept that, the quicker you can start getting on with real life.
i do wish you well and hope you can recover from that which has been dealt you and that which you brought on yourself.
wtf... WHERE WAS THIS GUY GETTING THE MONEY TO FUND THIS?! out of his own fanatical (for some reason) pocket?! that's not even plausible... and that belkin takes no actual responsibility for this and say that it's the lone actions of some hyper-militant rogue belkin aficionado employee? come on! wtf!
yah... boo! there's not a HINT of the old school c64 heritage! what the heck? sure, you can get any pc and call it a commodore but where's the commodore?! i want my beige plastic dangit!
and i swear that if it takes less than 5min to load f-15 strike fighter... (shaking fist)
