Wow, where did this come from? LOL. I tried reading a book on the Kindle 2, only got through the first few pages. I don't like how the pages flash(?) when they turn...once there is more advancement (and different screen colors) I might change my mind, since Kindles are convenient.

More than 50% of respondents (34 of 65) expect to obtain a positive total economic benefit in 2009.
