Quoted: Some sort of book reader device? Yes. Isnt google great? Its an electronic book of sorts. You download books and read them. I have never seen/used one, but the people that I know have them love them. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015T963C/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=4566159445&ref=pd_sl_19calxq4k4_e  |

Got one, love it.
The Kindle versions of the books are cheaper and 5 minutes after you buy them they appear on your device. Wife is a traditional book reader and was very skeptical of mine when I got it, now she wants her own. |

People are raving about them, I checked one out and didn't care for it personally. It'd make sense if you're someone who does a lot of traveling though. Barnes and Nobel is supposed to be coming out with a similar, much improved device.

Barnes and Nobel is supposed to be coming out with a similar, much improved device. The Nook. It is already out...sorta. Sony is also coming out with a wireless E-book reader called the Daily Edition. (in addition to their line of non-wireless ones already out) |

There's one under the tree with my name on it from my daughter.
 I git the leather cover and light too. We're both avid readers, and it's smaller and lighter than a real book so it's easier to tote around on my duty days. I'll give you all a range report after Christmas is anyone's interested.  ETA: As promised (but not requested)  a range report of the Amazon Kindle:So far it's an amazing little device - slim (around 3/8"). The display is VERY easy to read, even before I changed the font size and it has a reflective screen so even in full sunlight there is no glare. I downloaded Stephen Kings "Under The Dome" as my first read. Matthew Bracken's books are not in the Kindle Store.  |
