"Bucking the trend to go small, Kindle 2.0 takes it in an entirely different direction.
Like cake, the success of the Kindle is a lie.
Atleast we know that pie got it's success through love and good taste :P
And just like what you do to birthday cake candles, it blows.
"Amazon Kindle, now in 3 choclatey flavors!"
I swear to god I pressed reply on lonecow for the message above me.
"You can't have your cake and read it too"
Come on...
the first prototype of the kindle... the plastic injection machine was down so they made the case out of vanilla icing the night before the presentation in a pinch. the cake loving investors from sara lee were very pleased and the project was approved!
Sweet!
The DRM left a terrible aftertaste.
"unfortunately the only ebook the new kindle is capable of playing is the 1962 edition of the joy of cooking"
the buttons...they do nothing!
no juice (pun intended) or that the battery is toast (pun re-intended)...
does this solve the problem!?
when asked for comment, steve jobs replied, "people don't eat cake anymore."
"... because the cake is a lie!"

Well, that solves our education problem, now onto that obesity...

Even in cake form, many found the Kindle to be bland and unappetizing.
The Kindle looks, reads, and now tastes like real paper!
"From Robert Frost to Robert Frosting."
"No Candles needed for this Kindle"
Reading 'The Light-Beam Rider' is a piece of cake.
Why?...
"No, you idiot, I said I wanted candles on the cake!!!"
Nice. Read it twice, then mod up.
The fat computer illiterate says: "Can I have the memory card, I need something for my camera"
"Although the Kindle has gotten mixed reviews, Amazon wants to have its cake and eat it too."
"How do you turn off sticky keys?"

Another one:
Standby time: 10 min, only because people are gonna eat it.
The book is good...but the movie is even better.
It was a good read, until someone ate the ending.
i rote u a book, but i eated it.
It's actually quite easy to hack Kindle 2.0 - in fact, a simple kitchen knife will suffice.
The tactile response of the keys can only be described as goopy...and delicious.
"is in chocolate mint condition!"
I think mint chocolate condition is funnier
You can have your Kindle cake and read it too.
No you can't. See witsend's comment way up above.
"Hello, I asked for an Iphone cake, what the hell is that"
This was a triumph!
Short But Sweet?
"I can't let you eat me, Dave..."
Man, we'll sell as many of these as the real things! Get all 5 ready now!
Everyone always told "The Light Beam Rider" author that he'd eat his words one day...
"No woneder it looks so good, women made it!"
Now with 30% less sugar!
Keyboard is a little mushy and the life expectancy is way to short.
