There's a free iPhone application called "Stanza" that downloads entire books to read on the very light and very portable i-phone.  I've read 8 books on my iPhone and I can delete them after reading or keep them on the hard drive,  Why would I pay $400 for this stupid BIG HEAVY device and then have to buy the books too?  It doesn't make sense when I can get the same thing for free with my iPhone. I've had no problems with the application and there are thousands of free titles available through the Stanza application.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LimoBarbie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 23rd 2009 1:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hi LimoBarbie;<br><br>Why Kindle you ask?<br>1. All those same free out of copyright books are available for Kindle as well.<br>2. New books are cheaper for Kindle mostly $9.99 or less. Plus there are constant promotions from Amazon with titles from name authors for FREE.<br>3. The page is BIGGER - more like a paperback.<br>4. The E-ink is EASY on the eyes.<br>5. Tiny screens get old fast, once you've spent a day with a Kindle. I read the entire Harry Potter series on my Palm. The difference is incredible.<br>6. Whispernet purchase and download from Amazon is SLICK.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SAM reader]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 23rd 2009 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey Sam!<br>I appreciate you comments, but an iPhone is way different than a palm, I can make the type any size I want and the pages turn with a flick of the finger--super easy--and it picks up right where I left off if I get a call--and EVERY BOOK is free.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cougardomme]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 24th 2009 12:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's okay, LimoBarbie, there's lots of ignorance in the world.  Plenty of reasons to buy a Kindle even when one does own an iPhone.  My husband loves his iPhone, and did try reading on it.  But he's much happier reading on the Kindle I got him for Christmas.  Much easier on the eyes and much more content available (including all that free content available through Stanza).  Add to that the current, non-public-domain books available from Amazon.  Clearly you've never held a Kindle or you wouldn't call it "heavy".   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Meemo_B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 24th 2009 2:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can't stand Oprah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It broadens ones horizons. Just because I can't stand Oprah (and liberal Oprah @ss-sucking morons such as yourself) doesn't mean that I don't keep tabs on what she's up to. Especially since she apparently has so much influence over feeble-minded people that lap up every word  coming out of her overpaid mouth. (Who then turn around and vote no less.) Haven't you ever heard the phrase,"Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer"? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sissy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 23rd 2009 11:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Whatever happened to just reading a regular old book? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bobbie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 23rd 2009 3:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</guid><description><![CDATA[She really needs to retire.

OPRAH talks the talk doesn't  walk the walk. For instance, she says she is all into healthy eating and lifestyle, really big on  this diet and that, Shes all over the internet you see her NAME INDORSING this diet or that pill or tea and look at her" She is 400 pounds." I also have a thyroid condition and so does my husband and we don't weight 400 pounds between us and our kids. She is a snake oil salewomen reaping the benifits by throwing her name on it. PHONEY, PHONEY, PHONEY]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ann]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 23rd 2009 4:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well there are two types of thyroid conditions. Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, one of them produces too much of something and the other produces too little. And people with thyroid conditions can either have a hard time gaining weight or a hard time loosing it. I had hyperthyroidism when I was younger, got treatment for it, and then gained a whole bunch of weight (because I was never eating healthy or working out). I'm not making excuses for Oprah because I dont know her, but some people do end up gaining weight with thyroid conditions. <br><br><br>Oh and I was with my grandma for her chemotherapy and they were playing Oprah in the waiting room and she said she didnt have a thyroid condition anymore so she wont use that as an excuse. But I do agree its hypocritical of her to endorse these healthy lifestyles but not really do any of them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ashley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 23rd 2009 4:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ann, well said  !

SHE IS 50 SOMETHING.. and allowed since you are not her she is allowed to be whatever size she wants.....<br><br>and as for all those internet ad's you are seeing are misleading adverstisements. She doe's not endorse any of them. If you believe a 20 word internet Adword, well then I have land to sell you cheap... ;)<br><br>If you where to listen to what she said on her show, or even read her Live Your Best Life, you will find she openly talks about her emotional eating, she has said many times, if you see her heavy she is is not dealing with something correctly... So like Jesus once said, those without SIN throw the first stone.... <br><br><br>Just what I thought you are human too, don't begrude a person's success, learn from it.... the less time complaining and critizing, other's choices, the less time you get to work on LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KBurns]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 23rd 2009 7:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/23/oprah-approved-content-oddly-lacking-on-the-kindle/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you really watch what she says and how she behave you would get to know how racist she is.
