If someone wants to give me a Kindle for Christmas, I'll also be very appreciative because I'm not going to buy one until the winner is declared in the electronic reader wars.Joan Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622809465767116747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11856692.post-14719173256996632262009-12-02T14:23:49.962-06:002009-12-02T14:23:49.962-06:00If you hold your textbook upside down and shake it...If you hold your textbook upside down and shake it, you don't lose everything you have. <br /><br />I always bought <i>used</i> textbooks, if I could. They were not just cheaper, but they were already highlighted. <br /><br />Given the price of textbooks and their weight, a Kindle sounds attractive, but not when you think about it very long. The <i>expensive</i> part of an education is the time and the tuition required for the courses, not the textbooks. When it becomes possible to scribble notes in the margins, Kindle will look a lot more attractive, but I suspect that isn't going to happen anytime soon. <br /><br />But if someone wants to give me a Kindle for Christmas (and the money to buy new books), I promise to be <i>very</i> appreciative. Textbooks have different requirements, but Kindle sounds wonderful for pleasure reading.Dr. Harl Deloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17424071404764987713noreply@blogger.com
