So, while my folks are out of town, I'm not only cat-sitting, but also borrowing my mom's new Kindle. It's pretty amazing.

I read a book while on the elliptical, something I have been unable to do in the past. (Even if the little plastic thingamajig will hold a paperback, you have to pull the book out to turn pages, which is a pain. With the Kindle, you just push the "next page" button. Voila! I readered it!)

The picture is very clear, and the e ink technology means that there's no glare as with a computer. I'm quite enjoying test-driving it.
