Woes of a Book Collector: Number Three

Okay, lately I have been yearning for an Amazon Kindle because, to put it simply, the thing looks awesome. An iPad has is a computer and the Amazon Kindle into one, but I already have the computer thing. So, an iPad would defeat the purpose of a laptop which would not be good. Plus, I don't think I would be comfortable relying on one tool for everything and hoping that it does not die on me. At least I would have a back up...well for sources. And, it would be easier for me to look a source while typing instead of switching back and forth. How does the Amazon Kindle relate to a book collector? Well, if you don't already know, an Amazon Kindle allows access to millions of books without purchasing them at their regular prices (I think each book is $0.99.), Wikipedia, and other electrionic writing materials. It is also probably cheaper than the iPad (I don't know that for a fact. I didn't check.). Well, that is about it. I want an Amazon Kindle...so bad. But, I can wait...for now.
