It seemed pretty cool to me, but I am a sucker for any gadget, so I asked him if he would write a guest review for the blog. He graciously agreed, and so here is an in-depth review of the Kindle from a book professional who has used it extensively for over a month. David’s pros and cons list comes first, followed by his full review. So what do you think of the Kindle?

I love reading and I love technology, so this would be a natural for me. I like the fact that you can take it anywhere with you just like a book, and as a pastor I would love to have access to my whole library through a device like this. It would actually free me from the computer and the study to be able to carry around a stack of books in my lil', old Kindle. What can I say?

There is nothing in electronic reading, - absolutely nothing, - that can compare with sitting on a comfortable couch with a cup of tea and a good book in my hands! I have a lot of favorite books on my shelves, and have read some of them over and over again. I enjoy seeing a familiar book cover and settling down to read the familiar pages. Eclexia, I don't know who you are, but I think you are a kindred spirit! I have to comment on this one, being so in tune with the first comment.

I can handle blog-lengths online, but I'm realizing how much of what I remember in books to be related to touching the book, flipping the pages, always having the same paragraph be in the same place--same side of the page, top half or bottom, etc. Or maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy :) who wants things to stay the same. Actually, we could probably live in a smaller house if bookshelves did not take up the majority of our wall space! But I'd sure miss those bookshelves! I think I’m too kinetic for online reading.
