People who have read only one book in their life and it was To Kill A Mockingbird (and it was their assigned reading in the ninth grade).

Hope is important.
I am...
- A smart geek.
- A girl who didn’t get enough drama when she was younger.
- Someone who bought the first generation Amazon Kindle.
But it was not so many of my bestest authors. It was lots of American authors.

It would be a bit hard to list every author ever... Just pick your favourite from the list
Nothing on there for Coupland or Bukowski.

Quote: Mr. Criss to you, Dec 2009
I still think that a lot of the success of MP3 players due to the iPod came off the back of people buying a stylish product with only a vague idea of what it did. But it sure did look a lot cooler than anything else available...
After all, would Bang&Olufsen be as successful as they are if everyone knew that it was Phillips components wrapped in-cutting edge design? I can be sure as sh*t that a person wouldn't pay £1,000 for 2 conventional speakers with Phillips on them, but the same person would pay it for the same hardware in a flashy design.
Quote: Kid A, Dec 2009Quote: Mr. Criss to you, Dec 2009Which one and what did you dislike?This Jorje Leak, is where you are wrong. Having played about with a few, they are damned amazing devices. Granted, you lose the smell of the pages and the feel of the paper, but otherwise its just as good.
You may as well argue a fan of music would never listen to an MP3... Or a CD for that matter, so are you not a fan of music Jorje?
I have played around with one, I did not like it, it was not good, I am not a fan.
My argument on MP3 players stands... Remember it was only when the iPod came out that they started getting highly popular.
At the minute, I suspect about 80% of them are likely 'doing it wrong' (eBook readers that is.) I know my old Sony one was flawed, but still relatively decent for what it was.

I think you need to recall your first impressions of the iPod, Darren.

I know there aren’t many people looking at this anymore… but I have made the decision to stop paying for the VR hosting and to let the domain lapse.
