Review: Amazon Kindle

I received a Kindle this weekend.  Here is my review:

Cons:
1) Does not have new book smell;
2) Cannot use as coaster;
3) Cannot use as paperweight;
4) Cannot throw across room when frustrated with content;
5) Attracts potential muggers;
6) Does not allow me to subtly flaunt intellect in public because title of book I'm reading is not obvious to others; and
7) Does it make me happy to know that I am contributing to the demise of bookstores and libraries?  DOES IT?

Pros:
1) Do not have to carry heavy books like Middlemarch (Harry Potter) around;
2) Saves on back massage costs;
3) Allows me to overtly flaunt social status because I carry around an expensive electronic reading device; and
4) Displays portraits of famous authors when powered off, and now I know that John Steinbeck was a babe.

Conclusion:  The Amazon Kindle totally rules.  

things you probably should not say...
