Honestly, the mini is not that expensive, and it has the same stylish feel and lovely interface that has made me pretty much shun all other electronic products.

For some reason iPad/iBooks has actually re-kindled my love of the written word in a strange way. Don't get me wrong, though... Ain't nothin like the real thing, after all. But iPad makes it fun again. Probably because its a superior device in every way. If the iPad comes with a free kindle that is actually better than the fire, I doubt the nexus will be better, or even worth the saved money, which will turn into more money spent when you buy an iPad later on.

this is not revenge for me convincing you to buy the iphone 5, is it?

is it???

ha ha, no, okay, loud & clear, will save up for the next generation of this thing which will prolly be in the fall some time.

yeah i don't want the mini one since due to cost i'll likely end up adding a keyboard and using it to type shit on it. since i can prop it up like a real page & all.

re: nothing like a real thing-- shit, nothing like a garbage-free apartment to feel awesome. nothing like searching terms in a book in order to find a quote instead of thumbing through pages & pages. digital texts rule all. (sorry, paper!)

btw please go & write someting on the cheever short story thread, huh? don't leave evollove hanging.
