You know, I never really wanted or cared much about a Kindle Reader til I just read your post.
As an, ahem, older returning student, I picked up my third term books the other day. They handed me the first book and I was fine. Books two and three I felt a twinge. By the time I was holding books four - six as well, my back was went completely "out" - I was unable to walk or move without severe pain.
This has never happened to me before and I've since invested in one of those annoying little roller bags but having all my books on a card seems quite an attractive option to spending two days incapacitated.
