Hey Danny, you have the most important gizmo, A computer and INTERNET. Anything else is non essential. But are fun to have.
A Kindle is a hand held device that takes the place of books. Once it is set up, you can shop for books, and download them in about 30 seconds. It reads just like a book. Depending on the memory, you can store thousands of books on it and recall them at anytime. My wife loves hers.
Go on to Amazon and look it up!

I keep seeing them advertised on TV and Amazon. Seems to me a pretty expensive alternative to your local public library over a hundred bucks, plus buying the downloads. But I guess that will be the next thing made obsolete by modern technology. I still prefer a real book, call me old fashioned.

OK. You're old fashioned!

That's a compliment. So am I, but I got partially turned around when my son and his family gave me a Kindle as a recent birthday present. Now, I carry it everywhere. I've always been a voracious reader; now, more so.

One of the things that bothered me about ereaders prior to getting one is having to pay more for an electronic version of a book than for the paper version. I learned that there are thousands (no exaggeration) of books available legally at no cost. I can download, try it, if I don't like it, hit the delete key; no trips to the library, in fact I can borrow ebooks from the library without visiting them.

Hey alien, Welcome to the forum and thanks for your input! I'm certainly not advocating that E readers are for everyone, but are a great option for the avid reader. Like I said, my wife loves hers, but she still loves the feel and smell of a real book!

For all you I-pad, I-pod, I-ron " gadget freaks", did you looked at the I-wood that Frankorona posted?

After applied the right "custom skin" this would do great on Steve's Istand.

I made me one myself, a nano version of course 

And remember, use your Isit when making the Istand
