There it is, my awesome Kindle, Claude. You can't really tell, but it's facing direct sunlight and still it's possible to read every word. E-Ink is so unbelievably cool, I tell you!
I've acquired loads and loads of scary books and am already on my second book.
What's also a cool feature - albeit an illegal one - the custom screensavers. You can jailbreak your device (it's surprisingly easy, with an iPhone you'd always have to be afraid of bricking it!) and then put your own 8-bit greyscale images up there. I've grown fond of squiddyskull, ya know?
At first I was a bit afraid of the small delay and the screen turning black when turning pages, but you don't notice it at all. When reading a real book, the next page doesn't magically appear in the blink of an eye either :)
So, all in all I think this really was worth the purchase. It's so useful and I think it'll be better to take along on vacation than 14 single, heavy books!

but, well. i think it's great ;). cause you can read so many italian books as you want. Pretzel will be very proud ;)
Oh looks nice ^^ You're gonna have a lot of fun with that. When are you going away, and how long for?
Well, I CAN, but it's not like I want to! And I don't think I have the required skill, knowing only two tenses..Ehem. ;)
I'm already having a lot of fun, just finished the book I was reading up there! (So scary I was lying in the bathtub and screamed like crazy when a rubber glove fell from the shelf!)
My first vacation starts on the 25th and I'm away until the 8th of August, to Corsica. And later of course the obligatory Iesolo, I think on the 22nd of August?
XD You like getting scared then?
Ooh August 8th, my birthday! Sounds good, you'll enjoy it. I'm going to Spain on the 20th August for a week, gonna be great ^^
Haha, but only in a psychological, non-supernatural way. Which is stupid, when you think about it. I'm not afraid of the much more plausible serial killer coming to dice me, but I get spooked thinking about old bike hags and trolls under bridges. ;)
Oh, muy bien! Hablas espanol?
I donut know Spanish
