I finally took the plunge, I was so tired trying to find an open newspaper kiosk in Paris for the pleasure of wasting $4 on a watered down NY Times known as the International Herald Tribune. What a crap paper. I got the latest Kindle, the one that weighs about 3 feathers and quitely delivers my NY Times each morning via Wifi. I get it every day, including Sunday for just 19 bucks/month. Brilliant. There are pros and cons: no ads but no color either. Nope, cannot page through a paper, you use a button to scroll. Unexpectedly, since you see one article at a time, you end up reading more of the paper than normal. No distractions, no other headlines vying for your attention. I am an unabashed convert. I also have a New Yorker subscritption and am reading a book.

Uh oh: I can see a war between IPad and Kindle aficionados coming up.
@Sal - nah, I won't be drawn into marketing nonsense. They are two different tools. I like both but for reading, I prefer the Kindle.
