I've always wondered how the author came up with that name. Does it mean something in another language?

Indeed. If it weren't for wikipedia I might have actually had to use the library for info on homework. I wonder if libraries have been in decline ever since the internet.

Probably in the same way Borders is now nonexistent.

Even though Borders went bankrupt Barnes and Nobles is doing fine isn't it?

I think it's only because they caught onto the whole e-reader thing with their Nook.

Maybe, I didn't think the Nook was all that popular though.

I didn't think so either, but surprisingly, about half of the people who I know have e-readers have Nooks. Or maybe it's an Illinois thing.

Weird. If I were even into e-readers I'd go for the kindle since you can read in sunlight with it. Fortunately, my books don't run out of batteries so I don't have to worry about them.

Yeah, but I feel like if I had a Kindle, it'd be easier to read more. I'd hate the look of it, but the convenience is tempting.

Yeah, they're pretty small though heavier than I expected.

My main issue with the Kindle is that it feels cheap. Or at least, the demo that you can try out at Target feels like really cheap plastic.

Are you talking about the kindle fire or the regular kindle?
