I received this item as a gift a few years back and it was a perfect match. I do not own any other music videos on tape, but for anyone who enjoy hearing Depeche Mode (namely the 86-98 singles) should pick up this tape.

I recall back when I fell in love with Depeche Mode, oddly enough from seeing the Enjoy the Silence video on Mtv some 10 years ago which led me to buy the Violator album (my personal favourite in a series of great CDs).

Though it isn’t something that has a lot of replay-ability, the 86-98 videos are a must-have for any hardcore DM fans. Personal Jesus, Home, Never Let Me Down, they’re all there and despite some of them being made in the late 80s, they still top many of the deplorable videos being show on Mtv today.

I got 4 e-readers, Aluratek (5 inch screen), Kindle 2 (6 inch screen) , Kindle DX (9 inch screen), and I got Sony Daily Edition (even though it’s not officially sold in Canada – I ordered it from United States) – (7 inch screen).

In spite of the newest technology, I don’t find e-ink to be identical to reading a paper book and reading books on digital reader may take a bit of getting used to. I think I might have liked if I could adjust the shade of the paper on kindle and make it a bit whiter – though the reading ease also depends on the light source -I find it easier to read with more light around.

I am addicted to books and I have over 5,000 books in my apartment which I couldn’t put all on shelves so they are piled in marked archive boxes – even so. It is a real pain getting to the books and my living space got really sparse due to all the books. I am really looking forward to gradually replacing as many paper books with books in a digital format.

Throughout my life whenever I’d go anywhere, I couldn’t resist carrying a small pile of books with me. My shoulder would feel as if it were going to fall off from the weight. Now, I can carry a pile of books in a small digital reader. I’m in heaven.

Even though there is a branch of amazon in Canada, and amazon.ca offers free shipping of books, amazon.ca also offers a smaller selection of books in paper format and I’d find myself frequently ordering books from amazon.com. The shipping charges would sometimes almost equal the price of the book, so the idea that I can just download the books is already saving me tons of money.

I like the idea that I can preview the books before buying them. Often when I’m researching a topic I’d buy even 10 – 20 books on the topic, some of which I’d like and find helpful, some of which I really wouldn’t care t
