Jamma Game
$200-400 Christmas present for a 25 year old geek/nerd with everything?
He’s a gamer, roleplayer, techie, you know the type.
He’s got:
- PS3, 360, Wii
- DSi, PSP Go!
- 1000s of older games from Odyssey onward so don’t recommend anything old
- An up to date gaming PC (Waiting to upgrade GPU with GT300)
- Tons of roleplaying books
- iPod Touch, Digital Camera
- JAMMA cabinet, supergun, and a bunch of boards
- Enough HDTVs/Monitors
- A good speaker system/receiver
- A great keyboard, mouse, and gamepad
- High end flight stick and arcade stick
So *barring* those, what do you guys think? I was thinking the $259 Kindle. I know easy questions like this get tons of responses so feel free to brainstorm anything please!
Also a laptop, netbook, and Palm devices. He doesn’t like cell phones.
I’m so lost.
I do think the Amazon Kindle could be a great gift for him. I own the Kindle 2, so let me give you some of my opinions about it. I’ve to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far!
One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can “read” books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…
I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books… Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don’t feel tired… And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big enough bookshelf… And like to do bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookup without any additional thing but a Kindle.
There are quite a lot of free books (tips: if you’re outside the U.S. all the books will have US$2 added, but when you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable), and many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:

Finally, guess you know, Amazon has just put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it is now selling $100 cheaper than the price I got my Kindle, and it adds in international wireless access and native PDF support… So take the chance if you want it for your friend.
Hope it helps
