Kindle Wins

I sat next to a guy reading on his Sony E-reader on the plane last night. The Kindle is way, way better, not only because I own the Kindle but mostly because the e-reader does not have wireless download. Kind of defeats the purpose, no?

The e-reader does have a nice screen. It's also lightweight, but those qualities aren't the keys to the whole system. Wireless downloads are where it's at.

I remember when I bought my first cell phone. It was a super-cool silver LG flip phone, and it required 2 days to charge before I could use it for the first time. I told a friend that it was really for emergency use only. He laughed and said, "Just wait until a shoe sale becomes an emergency."

Today I forgot my personal Blackberry at home. So I couldn't check Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Gmail, etc all day. THE HORROR!!!

I look around my house now and am horrified by our electronics: 4 tvs (2 people), 2 desktop computers (soon to include 1 laptop), 2 laptops (for work), a kindle, a skycaddie, 2 digital cameras, a camcorder, 2 blackberries, a home phone, a kindle, and on and on... What has happened to me?
