oh right because you can adjust the size of the text i get it
You can do this with an ordinary book, too - just adjust the distance between book and eyes.
Edit: 'you' read my mind.

The iPhone (or smart phones generally) I can see the point of - take two things that you probably already carried around (phone + portable music player) and combine them, then add in a load of stuff that's kind of convenient to be able to do at the same time - check email, check train times, check where you are on a map, find out where the nearest pub is etc... it's debatable whether it's worth it at the price but that's kind of a balance of increased convenience versus how much disposable income you have.Kindle is another one of those products that are so popular now (like the iPhone) where the company has invented a product you never needed or even thought about previously, convinced you that you you need it, subsequently made it smaller, instant and with more features, and then called it "convenient."
eBook readers are just pointless. I've got a friend who's just got one because she's about to spend 18 months in the antarctic, and I can imagine you might want one if you were going to crew a nuclear submarine or a space mission, but otherwise they just don't seem to be better than books.
i'd rather not talk at all than exchange meaningless polite noises about work, especially over lunch.
YES.
(for some reason I can only capitalize that if I put more text underneath it.)
Re. lifts - one good thing about the general lack of very tall buildings in London is that lift journeys do not take 45 seconds!
In the appartment block in Geneva where I lived a few years ago the lift was installed by a company called Schindler. With hilarious effect.
I hear books have a lovely analogue warmth and nice harmonics, as opposed to the crisp digital sharpness of kindles, which is especially prevalent when read over a big system.
i was once reading my book during lunchbreak at work and this girl - who i absolutely fucking loathe - came over and asked me what I was reading.
