@Curves: One of my favorites is pulled pork.

@12345: You need a thermos!

@qballdz: Precisely. I suppose one benefit is I'm not getting any of the other towels damp with my wet hands but I can't say as that worry really keeps me up nights.

I suppose that would be really great for people with mobility issues. I'm not seeing much mass appeal, though.

@Nemesis099: That would be great. I doubt we'll see it any time soon, though. I strip the DRM off, convert them, then delete when I'm done.

@sty: I download the samples and then buy the book only if I've read and liked the samples. When I buy lots of books at once, I ended up not liking a lot of them.

The latest Kindle is already under 10mm thin. It's 8.5mm. What they really need is a better screen without all the glare.

@krnplcd: I don't believe so.

@ericesque: You can get those books on a Kindle but you have to be willing to strip the DRM.

@QMurphy: I can see your point, but personally I'd rather have one standard format with no DRM (or short of that a common one that wasn't particularly onerous). Then people could chose their devices without having to buy into a closed ecosystem. I'd like to see a variety of devices. After all, there are so many…

@ddhboy: I have to agree here. I just don't see the upside for Amazon being worth the cost.

@Strider-No.9: You could still buy books from shops that use Adobe "Adept" DRM. Even if Amazon became the only game in town, it's possible to convert .azw to .epub pretty easily. You have to do some DRM stripping first, which as you likely know is illegal and against your ToS. It's certainly not as convenient as…

@B_Ren: I wonder this especially here in the US where sufficient neighborhoods are a thing of the past in almost every city in the nation. Going to a small, independent book store makes sense to most people when it's a short walk or drive. The big box rules when you have to drive five miles or more to do any errand.…

@ddhboy: I can see Borders wanting to but if I recall correctly they're in pretty bad financial shape themselves.

@teh: Plus it doesn't apply to charities or to businesses you've patronized in the past.

@korpo53: I finally resorted to a call blocking app after having a couple spammers that call me every single day. Before that, I did as you said.

@UberRob: I believe it also doesn't apply to charities and PACs. Plus any company you have done business with can call you. One of the numbers I block is a business I deal with once a year that tries to up sell me every couple weeks.

@twothefutureandbeyond: While the individual chapter and paragraph won't apply across different translations and sectarian differences, it will apply to the same translation without needing the same printing. It just seems a whole heck of a lot simpler and document-focused than clinging to the idea of a paper page for…

@CaptainJack: Awesome. I live in a fairly large and tech-savvy city and we only have a couple thousand books. NYPL is about the biggest I've seen with over 12,000 fiction titles but that's a drop in the bucket compared to paper collections. They used to allow non-residents to subscribe but they stopped that when Sony…

@GalacticPope: Because those farmers need more than 3G you know. SF and the South bay. seem way better candidates to me. I guess they don't want to tax their new system with a bunch of users all at once because if they rolled that out in Silicon Valley, they'd get thousands of users really fast.
