However, I've plowed through bios of John Cleese and Eric Idle, both on paper and worth the $. When I do use my Kindle, it's for shows.
Now if you'll pardon me, I have to go polish my dinosaur's saddle.
heh the reason I asked is because this weekend is the Amazon Prime deals weekend. Even with the Prime deal it still works out to just over $300 with case and charger etc. Guess I'll just use the Paperwhite for the year and see if I use it enough to justify getting the better one.
It's funny you mentioned John Cleese and Eric Idle, I almost watched The Life of Brian last night while browsing through Amazon Prime's books and shows. It's sad that kids today don't know who John Cleese and Eric Idle are... All those great Python shows and movies. Makes me wonder who I missed from previous generations. They don't know about Saturday morning cartoons and how on Sunday afternoons you'd get something like an Abbott and Costello movie or The Pink Panther and then it was usually some awesome Ku Fung, Sci-Fi or horror movie. The Five Deadly Venom's etc... I liked how the UHF channels were usually locally owned and programmed. There were some great local channels with some great locally produced show's that had hosts that were local celebrities. I still remember as a kid watching Captain Noah, along the same lines as Captain Kangaroo but only shown in the Philly area. Lol the over dubbed voices for those Kung Fu movies.... I think the lines "You God Damned Bastid! You killed my master! Now, you die!" appeared in ever single movie.
