I read the NY Times on my Kindle. Sure I could take my laptop out to the deck and read for free, but the need for the screen to be bright and a WiFi connection makes it unpleasant.

In my opinion, receiving newspapers and blogs wirelessly are as important as buying books. $0.75 vs $2.00 for the Times, and nothing to schlep down to the recycling room. A week of newspapers is a lot more paper than a single book.

I was telling a friend about my Kindle recently. His first question was 'What else does it do?' My reply was 'When you buy a toaster you don't ask what else it does. You just know it does one thing really well.'
