Yeah, w/o that kind of mentality i'd be ignorant to some of my favorite authors. It's a social thing.

It's one of the reasons why I was pissed when Hub got the Kindle. We would pass books back and forth all the time.

Now he has a bigger e-peenor than i do.

Not quite the same, but you can pass the e-books between devices, as long as they're all on the same account.

For instance, when I buy a book on my Kindle, I can download it onto my desktop PC, my laptop and my ipad (all at no extra charge), and any other device I want to link to my account.

I don't know if I want one. I read alot of books, and I enjoy them, but I can see some advantages to the Kindle for portability and the backlight would be useful for reading in bed or travelling.

I dunno.

I guess the only kind of book club we could do would be swapping e-copies really - it would probably be cheaper for all of us to buy books locally than post them to eachother

That thing sounds boring as fuck. I might be behind on my tech, but are books the only thing this kindle thing does?

Yep. It was created by Amazon as a digital book reader.
