Any Kindler owners from Massachusetts?

A couple of months ago I was in a restaurant reading my Kindle.  The waitress said she had another customer before that had an electronic book.  She didn't say if it was a Kindle.

Welcome to the board. If you buy books like that, you'll fit right in.

Only one of many. There are 35 states with a Springfield in them.

I still think the Simpsons are from Springfield, IL. I don't care who won the contest.

Based on the US Census Bureau/gazatteer, more than that!

We have two in NH and I'm in Maine. I know there are two other board members here in Maine but they don't post much.

Well, there's at least one more! 

Been a kindle owner for about 8 months.  After reading the Amazon board all this time but growing increasing frustrated with it, found this one and I'm delighted - way, way better.

I got three co-workers to buy their own Kindles and I once sat on the subway opposite someone with a Kindle.

And I've fielded dozens of "What is that?" "Is that a Kindle?" questions during that time. 

Our time is coming...

Yeah!! Glad to have you here. I was at the Boston Aquarium this last July. My sister took off with our grandkids and I sat down and read my Kindle. I had an older woman sitting next to me and she said her daughter wanted to get her one.

I found my way here from Amazon December 3rd. This is a great group of Kindler's. We look forward to reading your posts.

Yup, that's what I thought.

Jeepers, if I tell all now then who will buy my tell all autobiography when it comes out?*

* All lies. There is no tell all autobiography in the works. Although there are rumors of a mini-series on cable access television called "Me! Apparently You Really Have Nothing Better to Watch at 3 AM."

Thanks Ann & sorry MWB. In defense of myself that post was made prior to my first cup of coffee.

The trick is to never actually stop drinking coffee, so there is no coffee "downtime."

Thanks for the welcome all.

I've been spending a delightful day (off and on) getting caught up on the forum.

Howdy mwb and welcome to the boards! Great to have you here.

i'm from MA - i get the occasional question or two about the kindle - but my smart car gets far more attention than the kindle does.

 

[qotdr]

I'm in Mass. I'm the only one I know that has one. I do have a friend that I think is going to get one for X-mas (good luck with that-LOL). When I mention I have one I get blank stares. But most people I know aren't into reading like I am.

I grew up south of Boston and moved to FL 5 yrs ago. I return to Mass frequently and find I get a lot more questions about my Kindle up there than down here. Haven't met anyone who reads like I do down here. I may live in FL, but my heart remains in Boston!

I'm in Jamaica Plain area of Boston, happily using my Kindle. I've taken it into work by request a few times to show...another coworker bought one and several either plan to give or receive one for the holidays. I love it.  Went to Myrtle Beach last month and spent a happy warm weekend on the beach reading away...total bliss.
