Since multiple "owners" of this "book" pointed out that it's nothing more than a review by a person that never owned one, why on earth would I pay a buck for that?  But you can have my opinions for free here and I think once the limited number of cash flush gadget addicts pony up for the Kindle, it will in fact flounder no matter how nice it is.  There are just too dang many folks like me that just KNOW from many a past experience how things go. Once all the costs are made up for (or absorbed with wounds thoroughly licked) the price will come a crashing down for us vultures.  PLUS hopefully by then there will be suitable bargain basement alternatives out of China or wherever complete with more of an open source kind of approach if you know what I mean.  Nope I am not going for it until it has been through the old mill... for instance can you say free Apps galore!  If I even thought this world was going to be around much longer (which I do not) One thing I would look for fairly shortly is readers that are rented or provided free upon joining an E-book club.  You would agree to review X number of E-book samples and of course buy so many also over a set number of months/years and the reader would remain in your possession free of cost.  But if something does not happen very quickly, like well before May 21, 2011 then none of us holdouts will ever enjoy the Ebook.  That is due to the Biblical fact that Christ IS returning just that soon and when He arrives all business as usually will come to a horrified halt for anyone not identified (BY GOD) as one of His sheep. Right up until that day I think things will go merrily along even laughing scornfully at the likes of me ...but THENNNNN what will you say? It is still the day of salvation, there is still hope, still time. The Bible says that Jehovah God is merciful and loves mercy! His throne room is open to the prayers of all 24/7! I say let us fall on our faces before Him and BEG! Who knows?  Really! WHO KNOWS whom God might have mercy on? Not the proud, we know that. Not any that think they deserve it either, that is for sure. But look in the Scriptures at the ones He did choose out! A murderer here, a prostitute there, a thief, a lowly filthy begger, swindlers, and just common nobodies. People! It is THAT time now! Call upon Him all you lowly of heart! Cry and beg for He is merciful! Forget what all these churches tell you to do, they will not help you a bit! Flee those places ...flee to the Bible! Flee to His mercy, stand fast in the hope that He is able and then just let go entirely of any thought at all that you can do anything ..you can't. he'll catch you or He won't just let go, He is merciful, He loves mercy ...let go.
