Do not want a Kindle.
Im an avid reader and get most of my books at the used book store.
With this machine you are stuck with whatever they want to charge for a book. No thanks.
I much prefer a hard copy so I can pass it around to the family and friends.
Somethings should not be electronic, books are to important to become something that could dissapear when something new and more advanced comes along. Take eight tracks and now cassetts.
