The Kindle Experience

I don't know if anyone is aware that the book Chasing Eliot Ness is now available on Kindle. This gives those in other countries a chance to read the book and also discounts it (price slashed in half) for those who have this device.

Personally, I'd like to see Kindle used as a tool for school books. I don't know how many people out there have kids in college, but the cost of college books is astronomical. And it's the biggest scam going. The books are $100 each and usually can't be used the next year because they've been "revised."

Kindle would eliminate a lot of the cost for school books for not only college, but high school children. Instead of carrying a load of books around, they can use the Kindle device as it holds quite a bit of downloads. Lighter to carry, too.

While I prefer to read a tangible version of a book, when it comes to textbooks I think Kindle should be mandatory. Especially in the economic climate we have today.
