I like the idea of the Kindle, but it's still just too expensive. The price of a digital book is close to that of a paper book! I come from a large family of readers, and both Carol and I read a couple of hours every night. I can't get to sleep unless I read! The thing is, we all swap books around the family, so one book "feeds" about 10 people. Once it makes the rounds of the family, it usually ends up in either the hospital or Legion (Canadian veterans ass.). But as a sailor who loves to read sitting in the cockpit of our sailboat late at night, the Kindle does make sense.

I don't think you can get kindle in Canada Danny. We have e books and they are way cheaper than hard copy. They can go on four devices and worth it. If you travel, its the only way to go.
