Testing out this Amazon Ass. shit


There should be an ad for a Kindle to the right. And, i'm high.
Let's see if this works.


This shit came out in 2004 or something. It lets you read books if you don't have 800lbs worth of books on you to read. Which is pretty fucking useful.
The Kindle can deal with several different file formats. Text in .PDF, text in .DOC and even text in .TXT. It comes with a keyboard as well, I assume it's so you can type your own words if you thought you needed to. And, within 10 years we won't even be teaching that shit in schools. That'll be pretty awesome. When was the last time you dropped your binders down a flight a stairs and had all the text disappear, cause you broke 'em?

Now, I haven't actually gone and looked at one of these in person or at the Amazon site so I can get some details, but I hear there are some cons to this piece as well.
If you want to use the internet, which you must to get your invisibooks; Kindle and Kindle 2 (if that even exists), both need to be plugged in to a router or modem via a wire. Something that was extinct back in 1990. Yeah, no wi-fi.
The Kindles hold up to 1,500 books, and that's a lot, but what if I had more? You'll get told to turn off your book while on an airplane, and your book will be subject to search if you are a criminals and are caught. That is, if they can do it before the battery dies. This book has batteries. The carrying case flexable (what the fuck).

Go out and buy one of these things. or wait for the Kindle Nano. Shit doesn't have a screen.

"It continues to be a total piece of crap."
"Won't even turn on, it's impressive that this even slides back and forth."
"You work very hard for your money, and they send you this stuff... It's wrong. It's very wrong."
