As of the current time (3:56 am EST),refurbished Kindles ( http://www.tinyurl.com/RefurbKindle ) are back in stock at Amazon and still $329. Dozens have been sold and shipped this week, but they keep rolling in and back out again. They won't last, so order one while you can. If you miss one this morning, be sure to read my post about playing Kindle Lotto:<BR/><BR/>http://beesontheknob.blogspot.com/2008/12/kindle-lotto-score-kindle-by-christmas.html<BR/><BR/>You too can have a bright shiny Kindle under the tree this year, and without having to pay the exorbitant prices on eBay.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065579219096568419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861782989357993809.post-67080143888698118192008-12-04T12:43:00.000-05:002008-12-04T12:43:00.000-05:00i dont know anyone that owns one...but i see them ...i dont know anyone that owns one...but i see them all the time on the train ride...and i was somewhat interested.. my bag would be lighter i thought but then like you i love the feel of a book in my hand...i'll keep thinking about it..i have time..its backorderedMillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508138629276742404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861782989357993809.post-66627445038305894062008-12-04T08:30:00.000-05:002008-12-04T08:30:00.000-05:00First, how in the heck do you have time to read th...First, how in the heck do you have time to read that much? You work, you have a family, your blog, you read other blogs and more! Do you sleep?<BR/>As for the Kindle - it seems really cool, but I am with Leslie, I love the look and feel of books.

You know how you and me are, when we hear about a book, we want it then.<BR/>I also hear it is not like looking at a computer screen, which is what I would be worried about.
