@BillyV65: Google told us. Now, go wash your hands for dinner.

@ThomasWolfSwe: Wanna bet? There were sales people at Circuit City that couldn't see the difference - or wouldn't admit it.

@nikankwon: To taunt you with the version you can't have until a month after the release of the black version.

@kvnsdlr002: That was great - thanks!

Couldn't you just case-mod an MP3 player and get better results with the same look?

@nuggett76: Sadly, your comment is true of every industry and not just the cell phone companies. I'm sure you can fins similar stories about every retailer out there. It comes down to whether you're pissed off enough to find a different company. For every person who leaves Company A for Company B due to poor…

@Robb Nunya: They can have my second-born. My 1st born is no trouble...

@Spaceknight: Well, Kia did it with the Soul. They have trim lines "+" and "!". I doubt it would be any more difficult for a phone than for a car, and both those symbols see a lot more use than a cheesy smiley.

If true, that can give it an edge on the nook. You either get a goofy layout (nook) or you have to go through extra steps (Kindle). You get to pick your…

@Zfire: A lot of those guys are just collecting freely available books from places like Guetnberg Project and compiling them. I bought one that had some 1500 books on a CD for less than $10. I happily paid him for his time in gathering files I would have spent weeks - if not years - collecting myself.

@buttnugget: I forgot about the Free Fridays - thanks to that feature I went some 6 weeks before I actually bought a book. It's also how I discovered a new author and ended up buying the entire 8 book series (which is why they do that!).
