If anyone is has one they don't want, or wants to work a deal, please read on............

I want an "amazon kindle" and money is tight (or so I'm told).

I DO have a ****load of cigars.

Retail $$ of the new generation Kindle is about $250.

So.......if anyone is interested in providing me with this product, I can respond with like value (or greater) of cigars.........including Habanos (many several years old) and hard to find/rare "domestics", discontinued blends, etc.

This is a good opportunity for an experienced smoker to expand their collection, or a new guy to find a better way to waste money than buying a ****load of fivers.

I have one of the older versions and really like it. I have a whole bunch of books on it and also get the NYT every morning. Since I can't get the print addition delivered in a timely manner, this is great.

My Kindle is the version that allows a memory card. My understanding of the newer one is that it does not.

I have not tried uploading any documents (in .pdf format) via the email process, so I can't tell you how that works.

I have not had any major issues with it. Most of the books I want have been available. It is great for travel and sure beats the heck out of hauling a bunch of them around. I am a voracious reader normally and this has been a wonderful treat.

Drawbacks include the page turning buttons being to easy to hit accidentally requiring me to go back. The scroll wheel/select button is a bit clumsy. It also does not have a backlight, so you have to provide a light source just like with a regular book.

But, it is easy to read and a pretty cool device. It doesn't take much time for a book to be delivered once ordered and the new version is supposed to be faster.

So, it does have some drawbacks, but the benefits outweigh the shortcomings.

I don't want to upgrade yet, but if I do, I will let ya know, Andy.

Could Andy read it during his bubble baths?

EMR.......keep in mind I am interested in the new gen "Kindle 2" model.
