Yeah, I gave up on the Kindle.

I'll check out Gulag Archipelago after I finish Cryptonomicon. Thanks.

Fukkit. I'm going to join you. I feel like GA is a book I should be familiar with.

Hey, I hope you didn't buy this yet -- I'd like to pick it up and send it to you as a much-belated, yet topical thanks for Master&Margarita.

Lemme know. I might still have your address if it hasn't changed, but maybe send me that too.

Haven't picked it up yet. Thanks for the offer!

Sure thing. I'll try to get it to you Friday.

I keep forgetting whether you totally gave up on it or just have animosity towards it. I may be able to dig out my hard copy of GA.

Both, I suppose. An open source e-reader that had all my books in a dropbox-like account would be great.

That would be nice. That's one of the cool things about Gutenberg is that you can download right to your dropbox. I do that with the ePub version and just open in iBooks. Completely open source would be best though.
