        <description><![CDATA[Shari, my wife and I just moved into a small townhouse, and we didn't have room for most of my books either - hence I bought (and fell in love with) my Kindle DX.I had to throw out over 2,400 paperbacks. No-one would take 'em - not the hospital libraries (too many), no-one.  OK, most were SF, but I nearly died throwing out my original Dune series, all my Piers Anthony, all my Asimovs (78 of those). Oh, the pain, the pain!Now, I'm actually glad - I've managed to find about 10% of my favourites that I had to chuck. And the Kindle's science and technical content seems to be improving daily.What's not to like?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I've had my DX for just over 3 months, and I love it to bits. I've read over 100 books already on it, and I still have room for more. Now I've taken the plunge and subscribed to Time and PC Mag, so every week I have something new delivered!The DX is much better for voracious readers, with a clearer (higher-res AND better contrast ratio) display than ANY of the others.It works in doctor's waiting rooms, train stations, hospitals (I used to have to bring in a whole bag of books, but not any more!), even on the bog! And Whispernet works in rural Australia! What's not to love?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ebook readers are becoming popular marketed hardware like the Kindle, I-Pad, so on and so forth. I was referring to ebooks in general. They take up virtual space. Not actual space that displaces you or I. They leave minimal carbon foot-print of any kind unless you consider their storage on to a disk of plastic and layered metal. You can skip through sections of material with just a click depending on the format especially if it's in a PDF. 1's and 0's are harmless to the environment unless they're written into a tool to cause harm.eBOOK: electonically Bound Optimally Organized Knowledge It's that simple minus the hostility? Don;t you agree?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Don't give me this Green Garbage!  You're probably one of those idiots who think incandescent bulbs should be banned and replaced with CFLs.  Try using a CFL to keep your boat's bilge from freezing when it's docked in the water in winter.  A 60-Watt Incandescent in a clamp light over the bilge pump keeps both the pump and the bilge from freezing.Books are the ultimate Green resource:  long-lasting with proper care, still usable by unskilled people long after elctronics and storage media have become outdated; no toxic batteries to dispose of in landfills; no electricity needed from large power plants when reading by daylight or candlelight; can be recycled into new paper if the text offends you.  They're also easier to flip back and forth between pages when referring to previous sections or looking up footnotes.  This last is most handy when reviewing multi-volume procurement documentation or flipping between sections fo a repair manual in the field.  Otherwise you'd need redundant eReaders to keep two places open for reference.On the other hand, eBooks are more compact and, in theory (like the Music CD), should be less expensive to produce once you have the reader.  I'll be looking for one, but I want to make sure I can download simple text files if I need to.  An eBook, like a hard-copy Book, is often a tool, and each tool sometimes has a specific purpose that another took cannot serve.BOOK:  Bound Optimally Organized Knowledge]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I went with the Sony PRS-505 before I went to Europe last week.  From what I read, the touch screen readers have more problems with glare, and since I often use the reader at night in bed with a headlamp to avoid disturbing my spouse excessive glare would be a problem.  I bought the ereader to avoid lugging pounds and pounds of books with me on a week-long overseas trip, but I've found that I've used it at home when I finished a book in a series and wanted to read the next one right away without waiting for a trip to the library. Another reason I chose the Sony was to avoid being limited to purchasing books from Amazon.  I've bought books from both Borders and Barnes and Nobel, since the Sony will read epub &amp; pdf format books.  Also Google books and the Gutenberg project have many free books.The Sony's metal case feels good in my hands, without being too heavy.  You should buy the wall charger; if you travel without a P.C. you can't charge the device without it.]]></description>
