I am thinking about getting one for christmas.

My main concern is, if the books cost like 9 bucks to download anyway, I would much rather just buy the actual book for the same price or a buck more.
i'll just download open-source books or the pdf. downloads of them
they're free and you can convert them to kindle-format
fuck buying books if the internet is available

i'd only buy books with visual work produced inside of them (ie, Jung's work, art books, instruction manuals, etc.)

Plus ebooks cannot sell back for profit.

This may be a dumb question but if you don't get the 3G kindle, you can still read the books you already have even if you're not in a wi-fi area correct? You just need wi-fi to download them I assume

Yes.  The books are stored on an SD card, and maybe on internal storage too, but I can't remember if the Kindle has any.

some parts of the south haven't changed much, supposedly. not that i've been there, but i've heard that certain parts are "socially segregated" from a navy seal who did stuff down there. basically certain aisles in certain stores are white and others are black, but there aren't any signs people just behave accordingly.

it's weird.
