Kindle Quandary
WHY IS THIS A DIALOGUE. heh. i say, don't do it. invest in a membership to your library. recently had to move and re-move a few times, so i consolidated books (also, besides clothes and art, my burden... okay, and cats) any book that i could easily get at a library i donated to this smaller/more needy library near me. like, do i really need that da vinci code i bought while working at b and n in 2003? no. maybe try that and see howya feel? the kindle/nunu/whatevertheyrecalled is crazy to me. plus, it hurts my eyes to read on a digital screen too much. let me know if u get/like it?

I've been in a Kindle quandary for quite some time. Other than books, I've made a point of living my life as virtually as possible (less entropic).
I like the feel and smell of books, but go through far more than I can keep up with (seeing as all of the local used booksellers went out of business and Amazon is the cheapest option when you've already borrowed all of your friends' books).
There's only so many times one can reread _Crime and Punishment_.
Is Kindle the anti-christ for booklovers or our savior when we want the latest Paul Auster novel ASAP?
I don't know. Also, it's overpriced.

"it hurts my eyes to read on a digital screen too much"
Exactly. I have spent my life in front of digital screens and like the break plain old text provides...but it really is a pain in the ass to move my books, no matter how many I donate/give away/etc. they continually pile up.
