Christmas is near,and I want to know if you think that the 'Kimble' is worth having.I know that it is worth while for Times approved books.
I just wonder if the books that we discuss here,would be available on it.
Do you have an opinion?
Thanks,
Frank

I've thought about getting one for the last couple of years, not for books, but for various newspapers that I read on the net. I thought it would be super handy to have the latest dailies available each morning on something so portable for carrying around the house or a bout on the throne. Each year I've decided against it because I'm afraid my three young children would destroy it in seconds if they ever got a hold of it.

You can search the various books that fit your interest on Amazon and if there's a "Kindle" version they'll mention it.

Read the negative reviews on Amazon. There are some serious technical issues with the Kindle.

Can't see reading Elmer Keith on it - just seems wrong!!!!

It is the way of the future - but I hope there will always be books, I believe Sony or Google? has their own version comming out. I have read good things about the Kindle especially the new one. I'm not getting one anytime soon but I'm sure some day I'll own some type of "electronic reader" - It would be nice to down load electronic content - books, magazines, newspapers etc. to read on a small package with a nice screen.

For some one like me,the concept is really great;I'm n0t an Elmer Kieth fan.he is too much of a self promoter,for me.
The adjustable type of the Kimble is for 'me'.Lots of books have smaller print or less friendly paper.
I looked up a few favorite books,and none were on Kimble.
Maybe the new system,by Sony,will be better for us.
keep tuned

If I traveled a lot, or had no space for books, I'd think about one... but I don't have any trouble keeping and carrying print editions right now.....
