]]> <![CDATA[A real live Kindle user]]> I've never seen a Kindle in the wild, and the only people I know who own Kindles are Amazon employees. It would be weird for us to have them here, as we can just use our iPods to listen to books and support the local business rather than a Seattle-based one, right? Or to semi-quote Jim Gaffigan, "Know what I liked about [my iPod]? No reading."

Hopefully I'll see many many more. I really enjoy reading on my Kindle.

]]> <![CDATA[A real live Kindle user]]> I think eBooks are great, but then I co-founded the Rocket eBook company in the late 90s. Love what Jeff is doing, but have you seen the Kindle UI? Buttons all over the place and plenty of exciting modes. But how do you turn the page? Oops, can't figure it out now, my BlackBerry just came to life...

I use my penis on a daily basis too, but that's expected.
