So, In both of my roleplays I brought up the Kindle... So, you guys must know I have a Kindle. And yes, the facts I talked about in my roleplays are very true. Download books in less than 60 seconds, and it seems like it doesn't even matter how big the book is. I was able to download the entire Bible in less than a minute. I imagine there's a lot of readers in e-fedding, so that's why I'm bringing up e-readers, since I was quite interested in the Kindle, and now on amazon they dropped the price of the one I have to 139 dollars. And now they finally have a new feature where you can lend books, which you can do with the Nook also... But from what I hear, the books for the Nook are more expensive, since it's offered by Barnes & Noble. But lending books works like, you can send the book to whoever you want that has the same system, and it stays there for 2 weeks, and while they have it, you don't have it. So it works just like loaning an actual book. I haven't tried it yet, since I don't know anyone with a Kindle lol. But I just wanted to bring it up since I think there's book readers out there. If you have any questions, feel free to ask

If you have any questions, feel free to ask I have an iPad w/ the Kindle app. Not sure if it would work the same or not. I just started using it as a reader and don't know why I didn't before. Perfect for traveling.

I bought my GF a Kobo E-reader for her B-day in February. She loves to read and with that, saves tons of money on books

I just found a pretty awesome feature for the Kindle. You can highlight a passage from the book, like an entire paragraph if you want, and you can send that to your Facebook. On Facebook it tells the name of the book, the cover of the book, and then below the passage you high lighted. I just think that's awesome.

E-readers and tablets are slowly taking over the World folks..
I work in the cellular industry in the Advanced tech support division, and the amount of stuff you can do with E-readers and tablets is amazing... and Amazon has already created programs for college students to be able to digitally rent all their textbooks for the lengths of the term to save them money on books and At the iPhone 4S keynote, the head of Apple said that currently all 50 states in the US either have a program in place or are piloting a program with the state departments of Education to replace all school text books with iPads.. I think this is a brilliant idea because while I like picking up a book to read it, we have to understand that trees and paper are not as renewable as we think they are and anything that can lessen our dependance on them is a good thing in my opinion.,
