            I bought my wife a Barnes and Noble Nook last year, she loves it. She travels a lot for work and used to carry (no joke) four books with her at a time. I thought it was ridiculous and got her the Nook. She absolutely loves it.

            The only reason why I chose the Nook at the time was because it was a more advanced device than the Kindle. Not sure if that's still the case

            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

              thanks a lot Doug.
              thought about copping the gf one since she always reads a lot and since she has no space on her shelfs anymore i thought this would be the best solution 🙂

              am i also able to play a "radio play" on an ebook?…

                I would say that if the primary objective is reading text then get something with an e-ink display (no back light and very naturalistic to read). For example the new Kindle Fire is basically an Android tablet (touch screen and what not), this rather defeats the whole purpose of ebooking IMO.

                  It seems like the displays of dedicated e-readers are easier on the eyes.

                    well the action on this would reading, hearing (radio play) and maybe some internet (WiFi)…

                      Is it strange that I have yet to wash any of my IH shirts? (besides my tees)

                          I've only washed my IHSH-20 to shrink it, my 16 cause I spilt ink on it, and 27 because it's a raw shirt…

                          No real need to wash mine: always wear an undershirt, always keep myself clean.

                            how about an ipad then. or kindle fire. or maybe nook color does that stuff i dont know.
                            if i were getting one for pure reading it would be the cheap kindle one

                              Finally found what i need 🙂
                              Bought the ebook in a local book store for ~100bucks. Totally suits her needs!
                              The only "problem" is,that it has no WiFi/UMTS…but I figured she would use her notebook for such things...
                              So yeah,it's all good 😉

                              Thanks again to Doug,Jon and Jaco!!!

                                It helps that you live someplace cool.  El lives in the sweaty, sweaty South.  Around these parts, not washing your shirts is either a sign of scary poor hygiene or impressively careful wear.  I'm sure El falls in the second category.:)

                                  Why shouldn't one wash their flannels or denim shirts…?
                                  If it has to get washed I wash all my stuff...don't care if IH or H&M...
                                  They are just some damn(good) clothes...nothing more and nothing less!  😠

                                    Yeh, I've completely given up on strict washing guide lines, except the more obvious ones with denim. I just wash virtually everything at 30 degrees, with a low spin and hang dry, whether it cost £5 or £500.

                                    Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

                                      I don't see a point in washing clothes when they don't smell… I work in them, so they're bound to get dusty and whatever... No care... Same for jeans and jackets... And boots... They get cleaned once, maybe twice a year...

                                      Trust me: if any of your god-damned babies or dogs would shit on my IHSH-50 I would wash it…  😉

                                        ^I'm with you here. I only wash my stuff when it needs it. As long as there's no smell or stains I don't do it. And as I wear my Flannels only when it's cold, I don't sweat in them.
