People still read books?

[wookieecrisp Posted Jul 28th 2010 7:36PM]

@Programmer The Kindle ENCOURAGES them to read books.

[Almo Posted Jul 28th 2010 7:39PM]

@wookieecrisp

Honestly, no. Not when you have to shell out for the device and every single subsequent book. I'd much rather read Engadget and online magazines/blogs.

[Programmer Posted Jul 28th 2010 7:42PM]

@Almo

Same here.

Just finished reading A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking.

Most AMAZING book ever.

This is the first book I've read in 10 years. I was all about reading blogs and whatnot too. Blogs are great for quick bits of info, but only a well-written book can *truly* educate you.

I've been itching for a kindle for a while... I might pull the trigger on this once it launches...

If it could browse the web, I'd be stoked right about now.

[rackdude Posted Jul 28th 2010 7:46PM]

@Plazmic Flame

It can on its experimental browser.

@Plazmic Flame "inclusion of an "experimental" Webkit-based browser."

@Programmer

I can't imagine going through life not reading books--and actually boasting about it without a hint of shame.

[Plazmic Flame Posted Jul 28th 2010 8:02PM]

@rackdude & @DanMan

Thanks for pointing that out guys, I did read that but it is "experimental".... still needs to be seen.

[chispito Posted Jul 28th 2010 8:02PM]

@Almo

If you don't enjoy a really good book then move along, this isn't for you. If you do, this is probably the most comfortable way to tear through the pages.

[CDice Posted Jul 28th 2010 8:03PM]

@Programmer

Do idiots still ask that question?

@almo

Do I need to explain to you the difference between a blog and a book?

[OverDriven Posted Jul 28th 2010 10:20PM]

@Programmer

I take it you're not really a programmer...

@Taylor Yes Taylor Ahhh, enlightenment! Welcome to the club!
