Don't know if this belongs in book chamber or the TV section since it's a commercial, or whatever, but I saw this commercial on TV today, this kid's telling his grandmother about all the things he wants to read about, so she gets him a Kindle, and they say ONLY $139...and I was just thinking....and that's so much easier than getting the actual books? I don't know much about Kindles but I do know you have to pay for every book you download onto one, so is that $139 you pay for it without even having anything on it to read or what?
If you know where to get a good deal, you could get hundreds of books for just what it costs to get the Kindle. I get a lot of mine from a thrift shop that sells them 10 for a dollar and you have everything, paperbacks, hardbacks, classics, not classics but famous stories everybody knows about, hard to find books, books nobody today knows about, you name it...so, I know it's all about business with them and their business is selling Kindles, but it doesn't sell me, and I don't know anybody who has $140 to just throw away on one of those and then however much it costs to actually put the books in it.
