    Great review on a GREAT product! A while ago the kindle 3 was my only computer for months! I still web searched/purchased, and sent/received email. (I just needed a magnifier). But it worked great. And with all of the free kindle books available, I read terrific, & free books! (Free kindle boos and tips blog by Micheal Gallagher. He rocks too!) EEVblog always 2 thumbs up! Check out Micheal's blog too. You'll be glad you did. Trust me.

    The burden of proof isn't on me. But please show me where Kelvin or Faraday or Galileo or the rest believed in religion for scientific reasons. Science and religion can exist in the same mind but compartmentalized and separate. However, the two can't exist in the same thought process. All the scientists you mentioned pursued naturalistic explanations, not supernatural ones. "God did it" is not a particularly satisfying answer for a scientist.

    @dudev you do realise this is mere assertion not proof or evidence. Wishing doesn't make it so

    But they didn't believe in Jesus for scientific reasons. And tell the major religions that there's no incompatibility--most of them seem to disagree. There is such a thing as true science, but religion is purely subjective.

    So we agree that religion is in no way science; it's not testable or verifiable. Thanks.

    Great review. I was trawling through tons of reviews looking to get answers to screen freeze on kindle and was dropping to sleep, but you really caught my attention and woke me up. I didn't get the answer from you but was impressed enough to seek out your channel and subscribe (even though I'm not a tecky geek. keep up the good work and infectious enthusiasm. bought a second hand machine, out of guarantee and have kindle screen freeze, can you point me in the right direction?

    Is the new Kindle keyboard unit just announced a rebadged version of the Kindle 3? Pretty impressive devices really, I love the fact it has text to speech and voice guide features, that's great for people like myself who lave low vision or who are blind.
