Don't be a dick, if you do a lot of reading the Kindle is ideal and you don't end up with 100's books all over the place.

I work for a book printer which is pretty fucking difficult at the best of times and now people think its a good idea to spend over £ 100 to be able to read a book...how stupid is that...?  |

In the past? What about now, do you have a Kindle instead?  |

No, I have kids so the prospect of getting sufficient time to actually sit down and read a book is but a distant memory  |

In truth, I have a Kindle, I also have a shit load of books lying around the house, most of which i've haven't even read yet.
It is a good little gadget, but will never replace hard copy books and I can't imagine it affecting book sales too much.
Maybe for fictional paperbacks, but not much else.

FUCK THE KINDLE GO BUY A PROPER BOOK...WHAT`S THE MATTER WITH YOU  My missus gets through a book every 2 or 3 days, shes been through the local library and read every book she wants to and I am fucked if I am paying £5-£7 a book every few days, also takes up much less room that the 1000 or so books we already have. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

If she's got all that spare time on her hands you should get her to build a bookcase to store them on, that'd slow her down a bit |

I reckon we should make Bathtime do posts via a telex machine.
