I thought this was some kind of joke as a Tampon... lol...

Yeah, you're funny. You should google what a Tampon is, because Pads and Tampons are two different things....

back on topic,

just asking but when you image your self holding this ware are you? home school work etc.

hmm, I can only picture myself lying down with it and resting it on my legs....or maybe while at a desk and it resting on the table, other then that it being completely flat makes it hard to use everywhere...

well then apple company is a bunch of fu(king morons if you ask me... publishers didn't really have an issue with the amazon price until apple made this.....

I don't get the tampon thing. I guess it's an internal joke.

I'm not sure if that's true. The way it sounds is that the publishers have been pissed at amazon for a while.

Pads and tampons are both feminine hygiene products. It's pretty obvious...

I looked it up in a lexicon. I get it now.  :P

That could be true, just not brough out to light because they could have been negotiating... but it makes me wonder, would they make me pay more for the books i already have? if they were to raise prices if publishers were pissed enough, or could the publishers take back all their books and leave the kindle nothing, like how a book was taken off a while ago because of copyright infringment, and since it is satellite internet, they were able to withdraw all of the copies of the books from people's kindles.

That's a major issue people are having with the iPad, and I would think the Kindle too. Since they have access to your software, they can remove anything they choose at any given time for whatever reason. I don't think it likely that they would do what you are saying. It would just mean future purchases would be at the higher price. But the sheer fact that you even have to question it is evidence enough that it's a bad feature. When you purchase something legitimately, let's use an actual printed book for example, you want to have a certain knowledge that this is your possession now. You can do whatever you want with it, within reason. If you want, you could even share it with a friend. And at no point are you worried that Barnes & Noble or the publisher is going to break into your home and take back the book you legitimately bought. The way they have these digital rights nonsense set up you just don't have that.

yeah... i mean you could always just get books illegally off the internet, but i don't want to come down to that

Now there going to be a wifi one and one with 3G in it. If some one is interested in the 3G ware might you use this outside?

Well, most places I go have wifi, but it's definitely convenient if you're in the car (and not driving obviously) or otherwise travelling. I dunno, maybe if you're at the park or somewhere like that. Honestly, I could see myself using this device just about any place. It seems really convenient to hold and use while you're on the go.

you go to a park to use a computer? :P

I wouldn't go there specifically to use a computer, but I do go to the park to just hang out outside, read a book, write, that kind of thing. If I had a very convenient, portable device like the iPad that has wireless internet I would probably use it there in order to read books or whatever.

I actually have a netbook and a wireless modem, but I haven't had it for very long and haven't taken it to the park yet, but I likely will at some point so that I can do some writing.
