Re: [CGUYS] Kindle Sighting
I wanted to add to this after reading some of the other comments. To each their own. But for me a book on an electronic screen or being read to me is much like the "read me" files that come with applications. I rarely read them. With the exception of email, the closest I've come to really get interested in electronic media are editorials and local letters to the editor. I guess I need to back track on that. I'm a TV addict. But that's mostly news and history channels stuff. Here's another take on it. My mother is an English teacher via online courses through our local college. Even she prints student papers out to read them. She'll then go back and make corrections online. But there's something about having the printed copy in your hand. I still can't explain it. Of course I haven't figured out how to text message on my cell phone either. Is this what getting old is all about? Jeff M On May 20, 2009, at 6:00 PM, Rev. Stewart Marshall wrote: I know.

Re: [CGUYS] Kindle Sighting
The last audio book I listened to in the car had a very intense passage which I was deeply involved in. Right up to the point where the officer pulled me over for missing the 30mph speed limit sign after exiting the expressway. He did let me go after hearing my excuse. I now use audio books in a much safer venue. Richard P. wrote: > That was exactly what I was getting at. > > IN some instances an audio book is great.

Re: [CGUYS] Kindle Sighting
That was exactly what I was getting at. IN some instances an audio book is great. In other instances it does not translate well. I am a great fan of the Audio book reader on NPR, and he usually reads light fiction which works well. A more intense book, such as a work volume takes more time and study.

Re: [CGUYS] Kindle Sighting
Somewhat the same here. Audiobooks are great when spending an otherwise boring 45 minutes on a treadmill. Or that 5 hour drive to NY. I also enjoy a half hour listen after turning out the lights in bed. Like being read to as a kid. Didn't mean to sound like an audiobook fanatic.

Re: [CGUYS] Kindle Sighting
I'm not necessarily a proponent for electronic readers but just note that with Kindle you can take notes on pages, insert bookmarks etc... Never done it myself but just know that you can. One thing about all electronic data systems ... e-publishing systems being one of them ... it seems to me that there is a high degree of longterm societal dependency on electricity, communication systems and on for profit/ independent organization's abilities and willingness to keep them up and going. In a loose way, our current financial market derivatives problem is a metaphor that illustrates how that kind of centralized dependence can ultimately let us down in big ways... db Rev.

Re: [CGUYS] Kindle Sighting
A friend of ours loves it and won't do without it. We prefer non-electronic books ourselves. Easier to read and they don't break when you fall asleep reading and drop them : )) Paperbacks don't break when they get wet either, or when they get sand or dirt inside. I like to read books, then trade them with someone else who has a good book. I don't care if I leave one on the train, plane or bus. I can get another one cheaply. I like to dog-ear and write on pages. I hope the electronic Kindle, and the like, doesn't replace printed books. It will be a great loss to readers, and we do need more readers.
