Just so you know, the Amazon Kindle
has dropped $70 to $189. Now, SarahK loves her Kindle, but I’ve never cared that much because I’m not into that whole “reading books” thing, but $189 price makes the Kindle notable to me as a backup internet device since you get 3G wireless internet access with no monthly fees. Yeah, it’s black and white and a very basic browser, but it means you will be able to read IMAO from anywhere you can get a cellular signal. Something to think about.
Oh, I probably should make my book
available on Kindle some day…

Next, you’ll be telling us you can Tweet with it, too, Frank. So, get one for Buttercup. There’s a video out on how to teach you babybebe to read by age two. I kid you not – I’ve seen it on TV while channel surfing. I just can’t remember the name since I can’t read.
Perhaps a wise investment of the Buttercup T-Shirt Endowment Fund, says I. We know that if she could speak, she would tell you to buy it for yourself. Besides, being able to access IMAO from anywhere will obviously allow you, the doting father, to spend more time with her.
I prefer to read books by reading them.
I hate trees too.
But people with Kindle will also have easier access to the Twilight “books.” That’s as many as four books. And that’s terrible.
The government should regulate the use of Kindle to prevent Twilight from spreading. But they’re too worried about trivial things like H1N1.
I’m with Marko. I’d rather read a book than an electronic Etch-A-Sketch.
I love my electronic Etch-A-Sketch, and the only way I could love it more would be if’n ya put your book on there, Frank.
I am with Mr. MarcoMancuso and Son of Bob. Anything electronic requires batteries or some type of energy. Can’t see a Kindle being a plus living in outlying areas.
Score one for Marko. Books good. Trees bad.
Frank could re-sell Kindles as “Portable Bat IMAO Readers”. Just make srue it attaches to the utility belt.
Guess one can always use the Kindle to slap off mosquitoes.
I’m with the rest of the cro-magnons here and I’d rather read the book. The whole idea of paying for some electronic thingamabob just so I can read books seems a little strange to me.
I imagine it’s big with the twitering twits who tweet on Twiter. Do the twits who twiter go on tweet frenzies? Like Tweety bird? You know, like “I taught I thaw a puddy tat! I did, I did see a putty tat!”
Fun Fact about Kindles:
Kindles will stop bullets if they are dropped gently.
I clicked on the ‘Tell the Publisher! I’d like to read this book on Kindle.” line, even though I don’t own a kindle.*
I’m there for ya, Frank!
But when is Volume II coming out?
*(I’m waiting until they knock the price down to around $19.95)
Free, no contract, mobile web surfing of blogs was the primary reason I bought my Kindle 2. It’s awesome and the battery life is insane. It beats reading text on my cell phone by a wide margin. The book stuff is nice.
