Ode to Love: The Kindle 3G

Kindle Wireless Reading Device – 3G is not just for “techies.”  Case-in-point…one of our colleagues at It’s Good Stuff has achieved a “certain age” and swore that he was not going to succumb to the siren song of the internet, cyberspace, wireless devices, and all that is high tech. After his wife acquired one of the first generation Kindle, he quickly changed his tune.  A voracious reader, he coveted her Kindle as she downloaded book after book and enjoyed all of the benefits of the wireless reader right before his green-with-envy eyes. Needless to say, the Kindle topped his Christmas list that year!  So passionate is he about “Kindle-ing”, that he pre-ordered the latest Kindle 3G so it would be delivered on its release date. (By the way, his grandson “inherited” his original Kindle.)  Our Kindle King took pen in hand to express his obsession with this marvel of technology. He has allowed us to share the following “poem” (forgive us Elizabeth Barrett Browning):

How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways.
I love my Kindle to the depth and breadth and height
My arms can reach.
I love thee for reading in the light so bright…
All new high-contrast E-Ink screen creates no glare.
I love thee freely and read you everywhere.
I love thee purely for your month-long battery charge,
Your download in 60 seconds, and your screen…that is large.
I love thee with a passion for your books that are free.
Your catalogue of over 510,000 editions for $9.99 or less inspires me!
I love thee with a love I thought lost…
In my old grief, I had uttered, “No technology at any cost!”
Ah! I love thee, Oh Kindle, with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life.
I think I love thee more than my wife.


In spite of Ms. Browning rolling over in her Victorian grave, we feel confident she too would appreciate our tribute by the King of Kindle!
