Full Crate & Mar - Conversations With Her

you lucky little..... How is it?

So far its been great... eInk display quality is amazing, I like the touch screen, and being able to drop my own format stuff on it so easily is great. Wifi mode chews the battery a bit, but otherwise the battery life has been good. They seem to have fixed quite a few of the initial problems in the OS with this 1.1.1 update...mine came with 1.1.1 on it, so I never ran into them.

I really would love to get an ereader-- but I love owning physical books too. I will buy an ereader when they start selling books that include digital copies. :D

I hear you...I read more books then I'd like to actually own though, lol. I figure I'll still buy the books I'd like to collect and keep, but this will help keep the other pulp down. New York Public Library as an eBook loan program, so I can "borrow" books from them to read on the eReader! It's pretty awesome.

I hope that comes soon too. I do like that the Nook allows for you to lend/borrow books from your friends with Nooks to items like your computer, nook, iphone, ipod touch, etc. But it would be awesome if you get a e-copy with physical copies. It is like some of the new vinyls, they come with MP3 versions of the album. It is nice to have a physical copy to hold in my hand and flip through the pages, but sometimes when traveling it is not convenient to travel with books everywhere.
 
My very first Blu-Ray, for $34. I'm probably just gonna watch the digital edition, though, which I already ripped onto Itunes.

$34?!?! Was it made of gold? I know some Blu Ray movies are $30+ but newer ones. This is about a year old. Sounds fishy...

Yeah, the Dark Knight was only $25 when it first released. It was only $10 over the holidays, and now $15 is a normal price for it.
 
Lunch date with the wife & kiddo.

Not as good as the Bloomin' Onion from Outback, but pretty good. Couldn't even eat half of this between us, and only ate half our burgers too. Tasty!

Minidisplay port to HDMI cable. I almost made the mistake of buying the adapter + hdmi cable separate. This is a cheaper, more convenient method. ~$10 monoprice

Just got this Sony BDP-S360 today for £85

This is my first Blu Ray player. It will be interesting to see how much better the picture quality is compared to regular dvds. I'm expecting good things as i've only heard good things about Blu Ray ...

Believe me, you won't believe your eyes! (Provided you've got a good HDMI cable and a 1080P TV)

If you've got a good sound system, the sound from Blu-Ray is incredible as well.
