So how long will it take for kindle owners to stop looking like douchebags?

[zoiks]

Well?
I think never.

 

[DingDingDao]

About as long as it will take for Segway owners to stop looking like douchebags (which hasn't happened yet, so who knows...)

 

[sactoking]

Some people will always be douchebags: Kindle owners, Segway riders, Twits, Perez Hilton, frat boys ("bros") with popped collars named Travis or Chet, New Jersey/Long Island guidos...

You're just jealous.

 

[nerdress]

I saw someone on a Segway last night!!!

First thought, "Wow that guy's a douche"

People who are able to read prose longer than a forum post will always be hated and feared by the slack-jawed masses.

 

[MotF Bane]

Never.

What's wrong with the Kindle? =(

 

[jonks]

everyone i know who owns a kindle loves the shit out of it. im not sold yet, i like the feel of a freshly felled tree, screaming in terror as it falls to the ground to be sliced and diced into ann coulter screeds

To be honest, I think having an e-reader is awesome. I could take it on planes, read it on the train without having to lug those big hard cover books.
The only thing is that I see a few people reading using their kindles everyday, and I have to say they look like doody douchebags.
Maybe it's that ugly white color..

Right up until I buy one. It'll be a while, though, 'cause I want to get the big one that reads pdf's natively & is expensive as hell.

once you guys get out of the ghetto and / or become less introverted you will understand things more.

Kindle reader for iPhone

Well, I've never even seen a kindle. But I try not to make fun of people that read.

 

[xSauronx]

meh, i dunno, never seen one. but i dont want one. amazon has *way* too much control over the device.

 

[Chryso]

I like being able to read without needing a power source.

LOLOLOL

 

[Ronstang]

I don't even know what a kindle is so I cannot even determine if it is douchey or not.

i live in a rural area. there might be a couple people tops in this county that have a kindle....if that. i wouldnt be surprised to see some at ECU in a nearby city, but im rarely over that way.
