I got a Kindle for my wife.

I'm thinking it was a pretty good trade.

Anyway, in some ways I am anti e-book. I like owning a book that you can put on your bookshelf, and can lend out if you want. I like having a physical book.

But the Kindle has some advantages. You can get a lot of free books (ones from which the copyright has expired). I think 1923 is the key date.

You can also check your email, and do a little websurfing, although it is not ideal for that. The cool thing, however, is that it doesn't charge a monthly fee for that. In fact, I pulled up cougarguard last night on the Kindle.

At the $109 I paid, hard to beat.

But when push comes to shove, I'm still buying the paper versions.
