Kindle Touch

Books
I got a Kindle Touch today. I've been wanting a Kindle for a while now and this one seems pretty good.

Right now it's charging (because I want to be able to take it wherever I want), but based on what I've seen of it so far, I am quite pleased. I think it's going to be fun to read books on that thing for sure.

Yay for virtual book machines! *highfive*

I have a Nook Simple Touch myself, courtesy of the jolly fat man in a red suit with pet reindeer, and I really love it. Tell me if you like it more than a traditional paperback.

Also, congrats and welcome to the ECC!

I know. That's why I wanted a Kindle in the first place. In fact, I've downloaded several books already (though I haven't read them yet).
