It is really good, I think. I was sort of nervous a tiny bit because all the Hitch-hiker's books are really amazing, and also Douglas Adams is a really special and different author, but it is really funny and smart too, I think. It is really like all the other books, but it is different too. It does not try to copy him so much, I think. It is lots of tiny jokes and silly things, and also it is pretty emotional and beautiful too.
Please can I recommend it for you?

LoonyPandora - Daft Cow?

Daft Cow?

 
Not read a book lately, but I am thinking of getting a Kindle. very strongly thinking of it. now they are only £109, it's just about in impulse buy territory... My main problem is storing loads of books, I got rid of them in my backpack purge... so a digital thing would help.

Anyone got one? or any kind of e-reader? Thoughts, suggestions?

I thought the whole point of an e-ink display was that it didn't cause eyestrain because it wasn't pumping out loads of light? It's more like paper, you shine a light on it, rather than light being emitted by it?

Also, sod the copyright thing. a) it's from amazon, and you buy books for it like anything else. and b) really, as if I'd pay for it - cheapskate that I am. Just a bit more convenient than a library.
