Resaleebook. Yes I know. I'm one of those people
Though the voice/readers are often not people who are really associated to the movie, if there is one. Those who are read by known actors are often horribly abridged. -

Aren't all breakfasts mostly meat free?

I might give it a chance if i ever get a tv
^.^ I'm not much for tv shows in general if it isn't a CSI copy of some sort or another. I don't even know why I like those kind of shows, they are all the same anyway. This doesn't sound to bad though ^.^ -
??? What is this show about?

Perfect food for exam studying -

If I want something specific I order online since its easy and fast. I only do this when I really really want a book though. I buy the rest of my books in second hand shops. They are often very cheep and you never know what you will find.

@ Julie
Do you know if the kindle does work properly overseas and with the books bought from other websites? I've tried to google it but I don't really get a good answer so I thought maybe you would know. I would like to be able to also buy books from the swedish websites bokus.se and adlibris,se or the dutch site bol.com. Those have both thier own ereader but those support only a very few file formats. So, do you know if it works with other non-US websites?

Ah don't worry so much about it Nollaig. In real live discussions don't always stay on the same subject for long stretches of time either.

Thanks for the advice Julie
I've been wanting to buy a tablet for a while now and I want mostly to read ebooks, the news and school related PDF's on it together with a bit of facebooking and some google searches. GPS funktion (for geocaching - yes I do that too, so much fun ) camera or video player are only secondary wants/needs. I have a hard time deciding if I should go for an e-reader or a proper tablet. Ah well, I have another half year to think about it. -
I always fail at those lists e.g. books to read before you die!
Me too ^.^ I pick my books with my gut feelings and sometimes I end up reading something really rubbish. I don't really keep track of what I've read either so I have no clue how many I've read this year.

So with the fire you can access Facebook too, or google something or read the paper online? Like a normal tablet?
I want to buy a tablet mostly so i can read on it but having the possibility to google some terms or some factual fact I suspect of being fictional would really be nice. On the foto bit.... why would anyone have a camera on his e reader...... ?

I have no shame whatsoever. I guess thats what you get when your parents dont check what you read at 12 years old. By the time I was 14 I had read quite some sensitive and/or banned material (my school had indeed a banned book list which only encouraged me to read them) Whenever someone asked why I was reading that, I simply answered that I did not understand so I tried to get myself educated. (this argument worked and still works very well with non fiction) This happened very seldom though since most people had no idea what I was reading and those who knew dared not to say since knowing would also tell a fair deal about themselfs. I remember this one teacher who found me the perfect example why kids should not freely use the internet (revering to a book dealing with gay rights he caught me reading), the funny thing being, I did not went online before 16.
The only reason I would buy something on a kindle is because the book is way to heavy to carry around with me all day.

hhmmm still far above my budget. I would love a big screen though so PDFs will be readable too. I'm one of the few who likes having a back light (LCD) so I can read it in the bus in the dark winter months. Still... so far above my budget!

When I was a teenager (a young one, round 15/16) I never knew ANYBODY who read. I was always in bookshops and the library, and I don't think I ever once discussed a book with anyone.
Same here. I'm not really a teenager anymore but even now I know no one who actually reads anything besides school books. A select few of my friends have read twilight and maybe the hunger games but there it stops.
I began reading at 12 and never stopped. Books were my way out of that boring world where everyone else played with their Pokemon games or worried about which boy they would date next. I thought that I would go absolutely crazy with everyone around me wondering why their parents would not let them wear make-up to school and if their skirts were short enough or their jeans the right amount of tight. I got laughed at by my entire class when I feverishly defended my opinion to a teacher that Dickens was in no way the same as Dahl and that so many read Shakespeare just so they would look educated instead of actually enjoying or even understanding it. My folks kept telling me that I should put down those books and do something productive instead.
I thought then, and still think, that the teenagers who still read, actually read, are becoming a dying breed.
I wish that uni would not eat up so much of my time. I'm expected to be social and make friends just so I have someone pleasant to do the large assignments with, get good grates, keep my place clean, look presentable, act interested, know everything, say nothing, eat and sleep enough and keep going. There is so little time left to lose myself between the pages of a good book.
