Bob,

The pictures are still on the page. You just need to scroll down.

Thanks,

Patrick

I'm not sure that I get it; isn't most of what we (at least I) read a "Flammable Wireless Reading Device" - called a book?

As my mother would say:

Very interesting...but stupid!

[Patrick]

Just to explain this fully (for anyone who may not know), the Amazon Kindle is a wireless reading device from Amazon.com. See it here: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons-Wireless-Reading-Generation/dp/B00154JDAI

The word kindle itself is defined as "to start (a fire); cause (a flame, blaze, etc.) to begin burning."

So, someone took those two things and turned a piece of wood into a replica Kindle (except it doesn't work or do anything).

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Patrick

HOLY COW! I feel like a bonehead - I didn't look at the picture enough to recognize that it didn't actually work; I thought it was a regular kindle with a wood case instead of plastic. Thanks for clarifying Patrick and I'll go back to my hole now. And man, that's some expensive fire starter. I'll stick with my paperback!

Yeah, on the eBay page, the device was actually called Kindling....the wireless wooden reading device...

heh, sperki, no worries, my pleasure. No need to go into a hole... that fooled a number of people, I'm sure.
