I WANT one.... Will I get it for Mother's Day??? NOT likely, my daughter is broke. So if I really want it, I'll have to open my own wallet. sigh....

Kindle Firmware update 2.5 coming in late May. The update includes the ability to organise your books into collections, PDF pan and zoom, password protection, more fonts & improved clarity, Facebook & Twitter posts and Popular Highlights, where you can see what other people highlighted in the book you're reading.

The update has already been sent out wirelessly to some Kindles (so jealous!), but will be available for download in late May.

"...if she ever has time to read again..."

Hence the Audible account and text-to-speech function. I'm on the road for at least two hours per day. My biggest wish was to be able to read and drive. Now I can, either by listening to an audiobook or asking the kind robot man inside the Kindle to read to me. I feel so much more productive!

The other day I took my mother shopping. She had some issues with her store card and I waited at the cash register while she sorted it out at Customer Service. I whipped out my Kindle and was immediately absored in my book. It took them a good 15 minutes to sort out the card. Without my Kindle, I would have started chewing on the side of the counter out of sheer boredom. You'd be surprised at how often you can find time to read if you have hundreds of books with you at all times.

Damn. Well, the wife will probably get one if she ever has time to read again and then it will enchant me.

I'm only trying to help, I promise :)

I have far too many ebooks on my pc and I didn't enjoy reading on a monitor for extended periods of time. The easy on the eyes e-ink screen coupled with the mobility of an ereader was a huge attraction for me. I read much more now, since I can read anywhere. I even look forward to long queues and traffic jams.

The only person I've shown my Kindle to who didn't want one immediately was my gran. She doesn't even own a computer, so I think it's her fear of buttons holding her back.

Prazzie, you are an evil temptress! ;-)

The secret is to skin them. Nothing with a fluffy pink bunny on it can be evil.
