I read Dawkins and thought that was a good book and good value.

There's a Kindle app for iPad.

There's a Kindle App for pretty much anything except that feature phone that Denial Dave has!

Luckily, there is indeed Kindle for PCs and MACs

Any chance you have an ipod touch? That is what I use. It's like the iphone (everything buy the phone part). It's a lot cheaper, no monthly bill, and relies on available wifi. I use mine with the house wifi, work's free wifi, and then i have a very cheap mobile wifi card. I can check email, play games and music, surf the web, read kindle files, etc.

no itouch either...

Everytime I look at upgrading my cell phone, I see the cell phone companies additional charges for digital, data, etc...

my $40 a month cell phone bill works just fine for me. I rarely use all of my minutes.

I not a total dinosaur, I do have an mp3 player with 30 gig of storage, but all it does is play music.

Dave,

I pay $35.00 per month for a Blackberry from Virgin Mobile in which I get unlimited web browsing and 300 minutes per month. Not sure about texting since I am a dinosaur in that area

$45 per month gets you 1200 minutes and there is a great selection of phones.

Now the downside is you're not going to have the most recent model and the Internet Speeds aren't going to be super quick. But for me, that is more than an acceptable tradeff as I don't need the latest greatest in cell phone technology since I am not using it all the time.

For more information, go to http://www.virginmobileusa.com

PS - And reception isn't always the greatest. So if your cell phone is your primary way of communicating, Virgin Mobile might not be your best option.

I bought my first ipod touch for $80 on craigslist. It does everything but the phone. I don't use a phone much, so I had a virgin mobile phone with pay as you go minutes. I would add $20 every 3 months and use free wifi for the ipod touch. I was also able to sell my previous mp3 player as the ipod touch did a whole lot more and was smaller. If I needed internet while traveling, I just had to find a McDonalds or Starbucks.

Since then, I gave my old ipod touch to my mom and got a newer one (also via craigslist) with more memory. I put all my music and my sister's music on it so we can use it in the car on trips. I also bought a cheap wifi card on craigslist. I get 30 days of wifi for $20, and when it expires, I just wait until I need it again before I pay another $20. I can now use wifi anywhere I go which is great as I travel a lot and some hotels charge $10 a day for wifi. Last Christmas, my friend gave me a new tracfone with 1500 minutes on it and 14 months before I need to add minutes. Since I am a slow user, I still have 1300 of those minutes. I can also text now quite easily. And when I do buy new minutes, I will get triple minutes. For somebody not addicted to their cell phone, it is really a nice cheap option. I think the deal was about $60 and that included a decent phone and I won't need to buy minutes for over a year.

As for my ipod touch, this is what I do with it (well worth the price):

email
internet
maps with step by step instructions
notepad
calculator
audio recorder
camera
videos
photos
music
audio books
kindle reader (I can send documents such as my medication list so that they are ON my ipod)
other book reader too
games (great when waiting for appointments)
medication reminder
apps for local stores with discounts
app for accepting credit cards for my business (I used to have to manually enter cards)
weather forecast & allergen forecast
reference info (pet poisons, first aid info, etc)
ICE (in case of emergency info)
QR reader - scan one in an ad and it takes you to their website
app for chat feature - I can send texts to my sister without using my phone minutes
gas buddy - tells you where the gas stations are and what the current price is - you can sort by price or distance
star gazer app

There are lots more apps you can get, many are free.

My friends are always surprised if I actually answer my phone. I do take it with me when I leave the house. But it is rarely within hearing distance when I am home, and I can't use it at work. I often forget to check my phone to see if I missed anything. But my ipod touch? That's in my pocket all the time. Even at work. The wifi isn't on while I work, but I check it every break and lunch. I turn off my email at home every time I leave so that I can check it with my ipod. Once my emails are downloaded to my email program, they are on that computer. The program my ipod uses only gets a copy, so I can still download them to my home computer later.
