I’m thinking about buying a Kindle. The crap (I mean, news) I carry with me (NYTimes, New Yorker) takes up so much space in ma’ bag! Does anyone out there have a Kindle and wanna share? I’ve read the reviews over and over – and I’m a $100 giftcard closer to getting one.
A (younger, read: more hip) friend at work bought her mother a Sony Reader because it allows her mom to borrow books from the library. As much I’d want to – I don’t read many books these days because of all the news I have coming in. But maybe I would read more books if it were so easy to borrow-by-download?
I’ve read about all the E-readers. Help?
(This choice worries me because in addition to my mainstream reading habits, I also like Bitch and Bust and other more independent publications. My choice in E-reader would be swayed by the availability of stuff like that, too.)
Thanks for your help.

If I were not super broke I would be into a kindle. Maybe I would read more. I like to read like 12 books at once. This would help.

I’ve been thinking of biting the bullet and getting the Kindle too. I hate buying books though and I do borrow library editions so the Sony seems good but the Kindle just FEELS really right, you know? I wish the Nook was more of a hybrid. Or that the Kindle would support library stuff!
