Can someone please explain to me about what in the world a "Kindle" is?

It was a product made by Amazon (I guess, since that is who markets it) that reads and stores e-books. You can order one and have it sent wirelessly to your Kindle. You can get subscriptions to magazines or newspaper sent to it and they are a lot cheaper as well as just being easier to keep around. I have over 250 books in my room right now and I am pretty much out of space with the current setup. A Kindle could be EXTREMELY handy to me.

The downside that I see in it, you aren't going to find cheap secondhand used books for a quarter like you can find at thriftstores, yard sales, or wherever else you may run across them. Storage might also be a problem too. If I ran out of memory on my Kindle, I would have to decide what I wanted to delete to make space for new books.
