Its an Amazon Kindle. We each got one as did all audience members and as we are got into this sort of "gadget" we decided to give it them to our son and his girlfriend. Jeff Bezos of Amazon was there too BTW. All in all it was worth getting up at 0430. :biggrin:

I clicked on the link and I still am clueless as to what a Kindle is. However, being in the audience, how awesome for you guys. When will it air?

That must have been fun - but I cant figure out exactly what you won either?

Congrats, but I don't know what you won either. :cool2:

Well, now I know what a Kindle is. :rolleyes2: Looks neat, but very expensive. Heck of a "gift."

Congrats,

Thank you. A kindle is a device to download any book from Amazons considerable stock. You can also download newspapers and mags too. Each book costs about $10.00 and once downloaded its yours forever. With an additional memory chip you can store up to 4K books. You press a button, the page turns, etc. Its pretty amazing and the downloads take mere minutes for a full book to be stored in the kindle.
