My mom and my sister both have kindles. I've borrowed them for school, I gotta say I read Moby Dick which is long, boring, and unfufilling, yet my eyes didn't melt in their sockets like they would have on a computer screen. In fact it was a book without the constant page turning.

The text was so clear, it actually looked like it was printed on the screen.

I still get real books when its a picture book, or encyclopedia-type book. Kindle for everything else. Heck, I've even gotten into Comixology, which lets you buy comic books for your tablet/phone. I've got a few comics on there, it works pretty well!

Comics on the Kindle, 005? I was thinking of trying that but it seemed like it wouldn't look great.

You misunderstood, I went slightly off topic into tablets there. Still digital reading.

how did you get a smart phone for only 1 cent?

Dude, if you activate a new line, they'll throw all sorts of deals at you.

Also, check out Amazon Wireless.

I can't imagine an Edward Gorey ebook working.

I use my wife's old Kindle 2, which is pretty hefty and the page turn click is pretty loud. Yesterday I told her that I should get a new one, its smaller, lighter, etc. She didn't think we needed to, so we didn't. Last night we're sitting in bed reading and she asks me to turn the pages quieter because I read faster than she does and it was driving her crazy. I just shrugged and said, "A new Kindle would have been quieter."

In short, I tried to click more quietly from then on.

Can't you switch the click off?

The Kobo with all it's faults has no sounds at all.

It's the physical button click. ;-)
