Oh that's funny! (Mine is BRATBUS) Thanks for thinking of me. BTW, he got Darth Vader ones from Santa. And to get it back on topic Both my mom and my daughter got their Kindles this morning and were totally surprised! I had made a big deal about them being backordered until February so neither one of them were expecting it. Well as long as he doesn't run around yelling "Look Look!! Darth Vader is sticking his tongue out!!!" you'll be OK. I love that you kept the early shipment to yourself and surprised them with Kindles for Christmas. That had to be the best feeling ever to see thier faces. What is it about a kindle that just makes everyone so happy? It's almost as good as getting a puppy or kitten. |

Hooray for Harvey and the wife for getting Kindles!
I must join you. Santa was nice to me and graciously gave me the Kindle this year too. I love it!
Erich, Congratulations and welcome! So glad to have you here! L |

I'm so glad Harvey and Mrs Harvey have their Kindles. I was feeling guilty enjoying the site and my Kindle, when they were doing without - now it's clear sailing ahead!

Thank you so much for your kind replies. It has been a long year, and all I can say is... if anything, you all were under-hyping the Kindle all this time.  |

For something that is so simple to use and addictive, it is just difficult to explain the feelings involved with Kindling.

It's just an impossible experience to describe. I didn't bring Little Gertie to Christmas dinner and there were some people who hadn't seen it and didn't even know about Kindle. I just couldn't find the right words. I finally told them to check out the videos. One of the things that surprised me is the how comfortable it is to hold and use since a lot of reviewers said the opposite. |

I think most critics are bitter fools that seem to suck on the lemon side of life. If they ever say anything good about anything, they were paid to do it, not because the item is really good.
I trust actual user reviews much more. If I want to know about a movie, I read reviews written by people that saw it, not critics.

OK, I'm a newbie here so maybe this has already been covered somewhere. Harvey started this board before you owned a Kindle? WHat prompted that?

He started this board in Nov 2007 and didn't get a Kindle until Dec 2008. 13 long months...very long months. L |

My question is what prompted him to start the boards if he didn't already own a Kindle? Was there something specific that sparked the flame? Obviously I'm glad he did it, because it's given me lots of information to read while waiting on the opportunity to order my own. lol I'm just curious about the source of his motivation.
And oh yeah, CONGRATULATIONS (albeit a bit late..lol) to both of you!! =)
