A Lighter Distraction- Bring This To Canada!

Ok, I've been writing some intense stuff over all the political stuff going on. Amazon has a new way to read books. If you know me, I LOVE to read - magazines, newspapers, blogs, and books (currently 8 beside the bed). While traveling, I often have 4 or 5 books with me which is very heavy to carry. I am excited to see this come to Canada:

Amazon says:
Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle.

We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both "lefties" and "righties" can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time.

Check this out - It's amazing. Books and technology come together!!

Unfortunately, it isn't in Canada yet (and the price needs to come down)
