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.

As Mal would Say, Huh

You're The Great Gatsby!

by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Having grown up in immense wealth and privilege, the world is truly at
your doorstep. Instead of reveling in this life of luxury, however, you spend most of
your time mooning over a failed romance. The object of your affection is all but
worthless--a frivolous liar--but it matters not to you. You can paint any image of the
past you want and make it seem real. If you were a color of fishing boat light, you
would be green.
