First Thoughts on Kindle

Because my new job really is that cool, I am on a team to evaluate Kindle for library use.

Hee hee hee.

So my first thoughts are:

1) Dude, this is so fucking cool!

followed by

2) Dude, these books are pretty expensive!

Seriously. The popular stuff retails about $10 a pop, but I checked out the new Mercedes Lackey novel and it's a heft $17--all of $1 cheaper than buying the hardback.

HMM.

It's on the clunky side but only a little. It makes up in sheer coolness what it lacks in sheer utility.

More later.

I am jealous of your job--in a supportive and excited-for-you kind of way.
