I know...
I looked at the NYT's review for Michel Houellebecq's "Las Particulas Elementales" ( i guess it was translated as -the elemental particles- or something) and they destroyed one of the best books i've read in my entire life.
I see the Kindle or Sony on the train at least once a week. Once there were three of us reading them. I'm a huge Kindle fan. It just makes so much sense if you are a hard core commuter!
