Kindle: to inflame, as the passions; to rouse; to provoke; to excite to action; to heat; to fire; to animate . . .

Marisa: I love you.

Jeffrey: You also.

In other news, the Kindle sold out in 5.5 hours, which is very exciting news. And, like the shallow retail creature I am, it makes it more desirable. People are saying things like, well, they didn’t release the sales figures, but…has an e-book reader ever sold out before?

More are available Dec. 3rd.

Indeed. As you might imagine, I spent a nice chunk of time staring at the Kindle. I tried to make myself want the Kindle because I want everything the Kindle is. But, sadly, I cannot buy a Kindle– and I am the queen of early adopters.

I have to go now and get back to being mesmerized by the ambilight on my new tv.
