Thanks folks. I'm sure I'll enjoy the Kindle and the boards here. My issue is that while I have in the past been a fairly avid reader, over the years I have tapered off a bit and rarely "read" now. I have and audible subscription due to my hour long commute (one way) to work. I love being able to listen to the books being read but I do miss picking up a book like I have in the past.
That said, I'm going to start off slow. I'll test out the text-to-speech on the K2 and see if that helps segue me into actually reading a bit more. The nicest thing I can think of for the Kindle is that I can pick it up and put it down easily. It's got to be easier than lugging around that full hardback of the Lord of the Rings books and such that I've read and re-read in the past.
I also look forward to experiementing with the device. I'm a digital artist/designer for a casino game company so I spend quite some time making art for devices I am hoping to have fun seeing what I can get to work on the Kindle...both art related as well as documents.

No worries...me saying hi was the topicCuriousLaura said:Harm cool avatar, I luv it, that's the image of my next tattoo, I'm obsessed with Egypt and the meaning of the Eye of Horus is so cool.

The image is a vector recreation of one of my tattoos. I have that one on my left forearm and the inverse on my right. I too am an Egypt Obsessive.
My moniker (board name) is actually one of the forms of Horus...this is the Ram-headed Sphinx that is considered to be the keeper of wisdom.
Glad to have like mined people here.
