    Anyone bought one of these? And if you did how did you like it? I've been thinking seriously about buying one lately and I like the idea of being able to store 1,500 books in one. Also looking at the Nook from Barnes and Noble (which is shipping Jan 15th).

    I don't have one (would love to, but can't justify it), but I know someone who does and he loves it.

    I've thought about it, but I thought it was gonna be something you paid once for and then had access to thousands of books, I didn't know you had to buy the individual books separately, way too expensive for me. I'll stick with the library. FREE books - I used to buy every book I wanted to read, but I ran out of space in my house to keep them and most of them I only wanted to read once, except for super cool stuff like TWILIGHT and HARRY POTTER and LORD OF THE RINGS :yes:. In fact, I've been thinking about selling them all at my next yard sale. :FOFastpizza:

    Got the Kindle last Friday and I love it so far. Easy to read, simple to use and downloading books is a snap.
