What's the most you'd pay for an e-book reader?

Geektonic asks the interesting question of what Amazon would need to price the Kindle at before you’d buy one.  I’m still a skeptic myself, so you’d have to get it down to about $40 for me, but I would be willing to pay $10 a book if I ended up liking the device.  At $260, it will be awhile before I have one.

Lease vs. Own

This is pretty ridiculous.  Ticketmaster has made it so that you no longer own tickets but lease a license from them instead.  This makes it difficult to buy tickets for friends or impossible to sell your tickets if you can’t go to the game.  They claim its to stop scalpers, but I’d rather have a robust secondary market for tickets then to have to deal with a use or lose it policy when I want to go see an event.  I’ll never understand why venues pay these guys money in the first place.

  • I'm listening to a police scanner right now and a neighbor complained about the person next to him arguing with another neighbor. The police responded and about 30 minutes later, there was another call, from the other neighbor reporting that the guy was arguing with the 1st neighbor for calling the cops. Now I think they are on their way to put him in the tank for the night. He's apparently pretty blotto. Good stuff, way better than summer reruns.
