I read a lot on my Palm Pilot; I got it when I was living in New York and had a two-hour (each way) commute on trains and subways and busses, and have used it ever since. I can carry about War and Peace, The Brothers Karamazov, an unabridged dictionary, and a ton of other books along with email, a web browser (if there's a wifi hotspot nearby), and a tiny Scrabble game.

Would you Kindle? I am with you on this Ken. I do have a stack of books that need to be read both at home (mostly fiction) and here in the office. The Kindle would make it more comfortable to carry both stacks around with me, especially if I could load my textbooks there too. But I want to try one of these things for a while before someone spends $400 dollars on it. Dennis Dennis M.

Would you Kindle? Jeff Bezos, of Amazon.com fame, has introduced a new e-book, Kindle. How many readers on the list are tempted? I would like to try one for a day. But $400 and then you still need to buy the books! I don't think it will make my Christmas list. Ken --------------------------------------------------------------- Kenneth M.
