New Kindle?
Anyone looking at the new kindle offerings? I have been considering getting one for a while, but have held back because I have already decided that my next splurge will be a lens, so I was considering doing the Kindle next. But at the $79 price, I feel like It qualifies as only a quasi-splurge. lol. I just don't know how I feel about buying something outright and having ads on it for an indefinite period.

My Ovulation Chart
I just started using H's kindle over the weekend and I am absolutely obsessed. I will never read a paper book again. I don't know what the buying outright or ads things mean though.
The biggest difference to me as to why I prefer the nook is that the nook is compatible with the ePub format while the kindle is not. So free lending library access on the nook. Supposedly Amazon will figure something out eventually, but I also like the idea of supporting B&N over Amazon on this one.
The new kindle is $79 if you agree to have ads on the screensaver and the home page. To me I feel like ads are okay if you are giving me a cheap subscription service (you have to make up the difference somehow), but if I am buying a device and paying once, I feel like the ads should be for a limited time. It doesn't seem like they are that obtrusive (they aren't on the actual book pages), but it annoys me on principle.
I was super anti-readers, but then I played around with my mom's, and I definitely want one. Especially since Madisen clued me in to the fact that you can borrow ebooks from the library.
Kindles do too now apparently.

Yeah, looks like the Sept 21 release figured it out for the kindle.

Oh, thanks for clarifying. I would have no problem with ads on the home page and screen saver as long as they aren't on actual book pages.
Told you you'd love it!
I have an older Kindle (about 3 years old), but I just saw this and now I want it.
