Top 3 Kindle Accessories

Without question Amazon's Kindle rocketed to the middle of many people's wish lists. This incredibly cool device virtually eliminates the need to carry around a $2 paperback novel that wouldn't be a really big deal if dropped in a puddle or mistakenly left behind at the bus station. Many sentient humans enjoy the activity of reading. Nothing accelerates reading quite like a tricked out Kindle.

Try this social experiment:

1. Visit your local Half-Price Books store and purchase a copy of Moby Dick. Expect to spend about $1.98.
2. Read the book from cover to cover, pausing only to pore over classic passages such as when the whale flips its' tail or the entire crew contracts scurvy. Highlight the penultimate scenes and discuss with yourself how modern situation comedies have been influenced by Ishmael's epic struggle with his inner monologue.
3. Sell the book back to Half Price Books and pocket $.50
4. Spend at least one month inhabiting your normal life. Observe the number of friends and acquaintances who treat you exactly the same as before you read the book.
   
5. Next, purchase a brand new Kindle and find a teenager to help you figure out how to turn it on. Find a grade-schooler to help you and the teenager download a 'free' copy of Moby Dick.
6. Don't read Moby Dick, simply pull up the first page onto the Kindle screen and leave the Kindle in plain view on your desk at work. If you don't have a desk at work, put the Kindle on a chain and hang it around your neck like a high-tech rap star.
7. Bask in glow of your sycophants and groupies. Enjoy your new promotion and big raise.
