Kindle is a new kind of way to read books. It's like a computer PDA but only for the purpose of downloading and absorbing text into the mind. It's strange to take note of after a generation of computer XBox's and Wii's. I guess, it will do. After all, I wrote a book myself, and I wouldn't mind anyone downloading it to read. I know for a fact that downloading bytes is a lot cheaper to produce and purchase than getting paperback hardcopy from your local bookstore. This might be the new wave in literature reading. As long as people still learn to read, it's all good.
