I thought you couldn't directly access the storage on a kindle. How do you put the book from the torrent onto the device?

plug it into usb and upload them 1 at a time.

or if it's a fire then he has direct access

Wait: one at a time? If you have to upload fifteen-thousand books one at a time it would take longer than human civilization has existed!

I said that. Until I got a Kindle.

Ditto. Once I used eink and realized how easy it was on my eyes, moreso than a book, there was no turning back.

Really eh?
I dunno, I was playing w/my friends kindle and it didn't blow me away.. Can't curl up with a kindle IMO

Which one was it? The touch is the size of a book and skinnier, plus no pages to hold open.




Yes, I've gotten that lazy, not holding a book open is a selling point.

Depends which one you got I guess. And you can definitely curl up with one, moreso than a book because you don't need both hands to hold it open and turn pages. It's great for reading lying down on your side etc.

On your trips to South America you'd rather carry 3-4 books than one Kindle?

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

Plus it's so slight it fits in my bag and whenever I'm in a queue or have to wait 5 minutes to pick someone up I just whip it out, turn it on and read a few pages then put it away. So convenient.
