I just like the feel of it and it reminds me more of an old book cover.<br /><br /> Then they had a 20% special on the new Cole Haan (which doesn't have the added or connecting strip on the spine but that doesn't bother me) and I had a leftover gift certificate also, so I got one for the K3.<br /><br /> But the special is no longer available and it's very pricey then. Most would not want to spend that much on a cover.

When I got to the book's page, it said price: $2.00. Now that's not a lot for a book but it's NOT free... Isn't that a bit misleading on Amazon's behalf? Shouldn't the name be changed to something like "Very cheap kindle books" instead?<br />Sincerely, <br />YossiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-33526877478606197362010-09-07T21:20:48.488-07:002010-09-07T21:20:48.488-07:00Rick/LDD,

But you're right, if you can swing it later, that DXG is really amazing.<br /><br /> I would hope they'd do a WiFi one someday or at least give us the PDF goodies on the DXG, which certainly has the fast screen... I don't really care about WiFi as I use my netbook for that (which I'm on now).<br /><br /> Thanks for the smile your comment brought |-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-72357572622419825782010-09-06T23:12:55.187-07:002010-09-06T23:12:55.187-07:00I'm not going to lie -- seeing the 9.7" K...I'm not going to lie -- seeing the 9.7" Kindle 3 definitely makes me jealous.
