opinions

i know none of y'all comment on here, but if you feel so inclined, i'd love opinions.

I'm starting some serious research on my thesis (I know, I know, about time.). I'm looking at books, and there are a lot out there I would love to read that I think would be beneficial for my research.

For the product: I wouldn't have to haul around massive amounts of books. I would keep it, and I'm a big time reader (normally) so I'm sure I'd use it a lot. Though, I do love the feel of a book in my hands. Books are generally about $10, which I could beat with used bookstores, however I'm going to order my research on express delivery so I'll be spending extra money on that.

For research: I guess the "highlight" tool isn't that great, but I'm assuming it has some sort of ctrl+f function that would come in super handy. And, again, not hauling books everywhere I go like normal. And, it reads to you! So when I'm tired of reading or if I want to be doing other stuff, I can just listen to my books--without having to buy the audio version.

For money: I think it's $359. Which is a lot.

HOLY CRAP.
nevermind. I just looked up the books they have on NAFTA, and there are only 15. Five of which are $80 or over--like, up to $140. Crap. And the rest just look sucky. So, question answered. But I'm gonna post this anyway. :)
