@jeffc42 At college the books frequently cost more than a Kindle…and I have to get a lot of them too. Not to mention the volume of PDFs from professional journals that I just download to my Kindle. As for the price of electronic textbooks; that could be better, but generally they cost no more than used books and some of the new etext rental plans are great. OK…I’ll get off the soapbox now.

Guess we should have seen that coming! But if it weren’t for backpacks the kids wouldn’t get any exercise at all!

Don’t pick up anything heavier than a Kindle. Take two tablets and text me in the morning.

Unfortunately, they still cost about the same, so your wallet will be a lot lighter too.

e-readers are fighting words just like ‘Spotted Owl’ to any axe man in the Pacific Northwest

Does a Kindle become heavier with each download?
