Unfortunately, the way most LCARS screens are laid out, you wind up holding your Kindle sideways for them to be upright; you have to fiddle some to get images in portrait mode. Two I did:   |

Okay, well, It may seem a little bit silly, but: What are these?  |

BTackitt, we can't all be fans. =P
Luna, LCARS is the operating system, so to speak, for most of the Star Trek series (from ST: The Next Generation on anyway). In the movies and the tv series, you often see crewmen in the background walking around carrying P.A.D.D.'s, which are their version of laptops. They are very common, and used and passed around like paper. Some say the iPad is essentially a P.A.D.D., but I say its far too big and heavy. The Kindle2, if you remove the keyboard and add a color touchscreen, is P.A.D.D. Do a google search for 'P.A.D.D.' you'll see what I'm talking about.
Bottom line: I'm just being really really nerdy. =D

With the new PADD gelaskin graphics, these are perfect.

BTW, I am a Star Trek fan and recognized the images, but did not recognize the (I assuming) acronym of LCARS.
