Re: Future of Newspapers

**"* <g*@att.net>**

I have a Kindle and I absolutely love it. It's the best. I have 20 books 
plus several magazines, newspapers and blogs on it. It's worth every penny. 
There's really not a need for a color screen because let's face it, most of 
what we read is black and white. A color screened Kindle will likely be very 
very expensive. I can highly recommend the current version though!
