If your like me, you have had your Kindle for quite some time.  I have actually grown used to most  of it’s idiosyncrasies and still love the fact I have one.   Unless you really need the wireless portion you just leave it off, that let’s you use the Kindle for a week of reading for an hour or two a day.  Need to buy something, fire up the wireless, otherwise just leave it off.  The thing is still a joy to read despite so many early people complaining about how to hold the thing. I must be unique in that I just use my hands and cruise right on through the book, but the roar of criticism seems o have died down.

The really weird thing is that the unit is still always sold out.  Are they making more than 5 at a time?  They are available on eBay for a chunk of cash but I don’t see any that are used.  That would seem to imply those that have begun to use them have kept them so far.  But I suppose we’ll see.  Sadly the hype seems to have faded and we still don’t have any more magazine than we did when it launched, but a few more newspapers have arrived.  Come on Dallas get a newspaper so I can have a reason to keep my wireless on.  Until then I will just keep on reading…  Hows your Kindle doing?  Have you named it?
