 Because i have been a very good boy all last year (maybe because of my broken leg), Santa got me all the stuff i ask him for. One of them was a Kindle, which is super nice and i can put a lot of books there instead of them using room on my small book case, that i have on my bedroom (which is already fill to the max with old car books with outdated information, that i totally refuse to throw away). Getting to be familiar with its use was a snap, as it only have 5 buttons to work it, and it works great and all, but (there is always a "but") soon i realized some of its shortcomings for someone like me that has done all his readings on paper and ink stuff. One of them is that is painfully slow to take a peek at the ending (I know is bad, but i have been doing it all my life) because you have to keep pressing the next page bottom hundreds of time as it only turn one page at a time (holding the bottom down and expect it to keep turning pages does not work, i tried it). also on some parts of the novels they mention something that happened chapters ago, forget about flipping pages back to refresh you memory of those events. I remembered a while back having a conversation with my father in law, who was a journalist, and he was complaining about having to use a computer instead of his old trusted IBM typing machine at the newspaper he worked on, because the lack of the tac-tac-tac of the typing machine made him feel like he was not working, eventually someone got him a program that simulated the typing noise on the computer and he was extremely happy, at the time i though he was just a whining old guy.  I have become one

If you hit menu while a "book" is open, you should have a "go to" function that will let u go to various parts of the book.
Also I have over 4000 kindle books, so if you want any certain ones just send me a pm!

I actually now have 2 Kindles, a Kindle 3Gs and yesterday I got a Kindle Fire. I love my kindle being that I read a lot. It's a lot easier than carrying tons of books in my back pack.

Its actually pretty nice. I loaded it with movies and TV shows for when I'm bored at work and don't feel like reading. Its like a big Droid phone minus the phone and camera.
