   geez, jim, do you even read these sites?  or think about 'em at all?
   to save everyone else from a useless trip and 5 wasted minutes,
   let me tell you that 7 of the 10 "dirt-cheap kindle-3 knock-offs"
   don't include a price.  2 of the 10 are more expensive than kindle
   ($366 and $225).  and the other one weighs in with a $90 price...
   so we've got one semi-dirt-cheap kindle-3 "knock-off".  at most.
   but of course it's not the hardware that makes the kindle attractive,
   not in the slightest.  it's the e-book inventory which amazon offers.
   and which none of these "knock-offs" can ever hope to hook up with.
   so don't waste your money...  don't even waste those 5 minutes...
