I Thought it was funny...

I was reading some of the Kindle reviews and so far I think this one was pretty funny.

Quote:

I used a highlighter on the screen to mark my favorite passage in the book, but all it did was muck up the screen. Now lines 3 through 17 are always highlighted. I mean, I like the book, but not enough to highlight the whole thing, am I right? I tried rinsing off the highlighter marks with some dish soap and a scrubbing sponge, but this just scratched the screen and blurred the highlighted section. My wife suggested using the dishwasher, so I put it on the top rack (I wouldn't put a $400 piece of equipment on the bottom rack, duh!).

I don't think the Kindle is dishwasher safe. All of my pages are smudged now and the forward and backward keys don't work. I've been reading the same passage for a few hours now, and let me tell you, it get's pretty boring.

I tried to connect wirelessly to Wikipedia to find out how to wash the screen but everytime I turn on the Kindle, it just beeps and shows me the same page of the same book. I tried plugging it in to the socket because I thought it had a low battery, but I misplaced the charger. I rigged up a coat hanger and some wires though. It seems to work, because now the Kindle is getting very warm.

And another one...

What a stupid idea--

How do you lend a book to a friend?

How do you touch and hold and electronic book--

Where are the aesthetics?

How do you read a book that's not on the list?

Who would want this stupid thing? Why would Amazon invest in this stupid thing?

I'm in a good mood today. All my final exams are tomorrow, and I think I'll do decent enough. I took notes, sold the books, and now I just need to review and hopefully pass.

So how is your day going?
