It is bigger than the Kindle so it's a little more cumbersome as a reader IMHO. The cost for the iPad the way I would want it is about $900 - bought the Kindle at Target for $185 & it will store 1500 books - which is great for me the way I read & travel. Lots of free books as well - I'm reading Treasure Island right now, a freebie. I need to have more shelves built for the books I already have. I rarely buy hardcovers these days for lack of space. Jack & Isabel visited last week & made sure to push all of my books to the back of the cases. Deb was grumbling that she had to pull them all out & 'realign them'. Hah! And I thought MY OCD was bad!David Ebrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037059701518103541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-2402363648562201562010-07-16T19:00:14.585-04:002010-07-16T19:00:14.585-04:00I want a Kindle.

Good post, Dave. <br /><br />How many books can you store on a Kindle? I like the idea of reading with one hand instead of two, too.Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-51804989398396925462010-07-16T17:26:27.689-04:002010-07-16T17:26:27.689-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.David Ebrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037059701518103541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-13926977303882809922010-07-16T17:26:22.860-04:002010-07-16T17:26:22.860-04:00Rain is killing me.

Change happens so much around here - guess I'm getting used to it. <br /><br />Carol - Ah I wish. You're forgetting previous escapades. Chicago, Atlanta, Delray Beach & now Miami (living in Ft Lauderdale)<br />THIS job is scheduled for completion in February 2011 BUT there is another $15 - 20M phase that they want to ADD which will overlap this monster. Might be another year. We've been "away" for the most part since October 2008 with a few interruptions where I was in the office in Jacksonville (70 miles away).My oldest son is starting up some projects in Texas (also construction). He has to commute from Philly - every week.

Hmm a Kindle.I haven't decide what I think about them although I would suppose over time we will all learn to adjust.

I don't like reading from a computer screen either - not even my own ebook, but reading on the Kindle has been comfortable. Definitely want to get the iPad - but I'm going to wait for the new & improved version. BAD LATITUDE will be on iBooks soon - not Kindle. That's another whole story which I'll explain in the future. <br /><br />YES - The schedule is hectic & unpredictable, would be much easier if I wasn't bouncing between 2 homes.David Ebrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037059701518103541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-73828380033728973562010-07-16T02:00:09.671-04:002010-07-16T02:00:09.671-04:00And a Hi and Hi-5 back atcha!

I imagine it's hard to fit everything you'd like to do into a schedule as hectic and unpredictable as yours.<br /><br />I haven't splurged on an e-reader yet. The iPad would be my preference but it's too expensive a toy, and that's all it would be for me. I'm a fence-sitter when it comes to eBooks. I have a couple on my computer and just can't get interested in reading from the screen for long periods, especially after I've been writing for hours. I still prefer the old fashioned way. I can see the advantage for agents and editors, but not really for authors... sell a few more books maybe, but at less profit. I think they're here to stay but I don't see them taking over the complete market. I could be wrong though. How's the battery life on your Kindle?Carol J.
