I have a Kindle and I hate it. The books are WAY too expensive. It only does one thing (you can read books on it---WOW!!), but does not do it better than a real book. It is the most worthless device I own. I can't wait for an iPad....

Really?

You're the first person I've ever found who hates the Kindle.

Really, the very first.

Are you sure you didn't have unrealistic expectations? After all, the Kindle is for just one thing. It never pretended to be for more than reading. It does that very well.

Not better than a book? Really? How about 3,000 books? It's quite a bit smaller.

$10 for brand new titles is hardly "WAY too expensive".

I think you're making it up. Just like the "I'm a life-long Republican, but I'm voting for the Democrat!" folks.

The Kindle does what it was built for better than anything else. Don't buy a toaster and complain that it makes terrible milkshakes.

Well, I didn't buy it; it was a gift. I don't need to hang on to 3,000 books. I only read one at a time, so what good is having a storage device that keeps multiples? Once I read a book, I donate it.

Again, the price on Amazon is ridiculously expensive for most books; I can wait 4 weeks and get used books online for less than half the price of what Amazon wants for a download. Then I get to make a tax-deductable contribution to Goodwill to recoup some of my expense. So why do I need a Kindle again?
