fact: tolerance of advertising is a hallmark of low intelligence

Tolerance meaning? I love commercials but mostly because they're so far from real life

I wonder how long it will take for kindles to go the way of the dodo and EEE PCs because no-one outside of North America has ever owned one and really the US + Canada is not a very big market.

My kindle is very good. I keep it in my bag and take it out when I want to read on the train or whatever. I don't need to gently caress around with it, I charge it once a month or so. It's pretty much the platonic ideal of how consumer electronics should be.

kindles are really good tho

i still have and use my old one from 2010

I got a Kindle Touch in 2011 and used it up until a few months ago when my wife got me a Kindle Voyage. My old Kindle Touch worked perfectly fine and I sent it to my mother and now she's enjoying it.

The Kindle line is pretty much the biggest success story imaginable in tech.

tori is right the kindle is the ideal electronics experience, esp in that my first (3g keyboard) works fine aside from literally having a 6 year old battery, my paperwhite 3 is equally as easy to use even with more features, and the touch i got cheap refurbed at a half price books (lol) to keep at work is actually 5 years old and the battery still works fine

Before I sent the Touch to my mom, I checked with my brother who still lives near her to see if he could replace the battery and he said it's about fifteen minutes and $18. Flawless.

yeah it's seriously one of the best tech purchases i've ever made.

It really is the platonic ideal of a good tech product, and a silent revolution in electronics. More people need to use Kindles and expect the same out of their other technology.

in star wars shatterpoint epic jedi mace windu goes to his home planet which is a jungle planet and does battle with this powerful savage guy who has like a super strong shield made of something that his light saber isnt good against. and some other poo poo happens. one time there is a mountain or something falling on a car with a guy whos stuck in it and he uses the force to hold up the land slide while throwing the car somewhere else. incredible power. kind of reminds me of like that game where you pull a star destroyer out of space and crash it into the floor with the force. wow. such increidble powers. also in the mace windu book he has a hot and sexy girlfriend iirc which i like to read about.
