I have a Kindle now.

It's a strange little device that looks a little too close to the Star Trek® future we all imagined as children (No, really!). I had been thinking about getting something like it for a while, and I finally decided to acquire the thing last week when I printed out 200 or so pages within 2 or 3 days

I mean, it's going to depend on what you're reading. Scanned .pdf files of books are probably just not readable. Modern, scalable files are much better. The note-taking is functional. You can highlight texts and leave notes and they all get compiled into a text document that you can access on the Kindle or transfer onto your computer. If I am going to read a paper that is crucial for my research, though, I am going to print it out so I can actually write on it.

I don't know, I am still transitioning, so ask me again in a few weeks ;)

Ah, that sounds wonderful. I have the same problem with not reading as much since I started college, and I miss it so much. I think it's this reading-novels-on-the-go that's most likely to get me to purchase a Kindle.

So the death of the physical bookstore comes a little closer?
