Overall I think this sounds pretty darn cool!! It is about the price of an I-Pod :$399. And if you are someone who likes to read this could be for you!!!
I LOVE IT! I MUST HAVE IT! Reading is a VERY expensive habit, and that would easily pay or itself in the first year!
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a cool gift!
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness I want that! I NEED IT! I had a Palm Pilot at my old job and I could download books onto it. It was so sweet. It lit up so I could read in bed at night and not disturb the hubby. I miss it dearly. Had to give it back when I quit. Drat.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! I would use it all the time, which is probably exactly why I shouldn't have it, haha!
