Reading with Kindle
I got my hands on a Kindle reading device. The electronic paper display looks sharp and clear, and gives a long battery life. I used to have a Nokia N800 Internet tablet before. N800 runs a Linux operating system with many tools and applications. Kindle is just a reading device. I hope Kindle will make me read more and more books.

Hey, Upul!
I’ve never really understood the idea of Kindle — I mean I know it can store many books, download them (can it? I guess so…) and is portable, but on the other hand, how is it better than a book? Maybe downloading e-books is cheaper than buying their real world counterparts, but there’s nothing that beats the fact, that you’re holding *a book* in your hand, not just a device that displays what could be contents of a book. I mean, the smell of a newly bought book, the look of the font used and the feel of paper… Priceless.
