Looking at my desk I noticed I had 4 mice all together. I wrote before about how I wish they still made trackballs, so a couple months back I went out and bought the Logitech Trackman from Best Buy. Sure it doesn’t have a forward and back button, sure it has a cable, and definitely it annoys people who come to my office, but I think it’s great!

If you’ve never tried one before you should head out and buy one.

So my Amazon Kindle showed up yesterday and to be honest I was like a kid at Christmas. As some of you know I used to own the Sony Reader PRS-500. Now the Sony Reader is a pretty good device for reading books, but I found the selection and price of the books on the Sony Reader eBook store were just too expensive.

A few weeks ago Amazon announced their new device, though it was rumored for some time. I made the decision to sell my Sony Reader and put my order in for the Kindle. Now when the first Kindle device first came out, they ran out of stock in 8 hours, so I went ahead and preordered this device. At the same time I put my Sony Reader up on eBay.

Now I love eBay since I moved to the states. Over here eBay just feels more secure, so I didn’t have a problem with selling the device. After a little mess up with the changes to the eBay buy it now option the device sold in 5 minutes! I can’t believe it, just 5 minutes! Wow, it was just a little less that what it costs new, so I couldn’t believe how fast it went and for how much I got for it.

Preordered Amazon Kindle 2, check; sold Sony eBook, check. Now a waiting game that felt like it lasted just too long and was concluded yesterday.

So I’m not going to do an unboxing, but if you want to learn a lot more about the Kindle I suggest you head over to Engadget.com.
