Kindle Addiction Round-up

One doesn't have to Google very far to find out just how prevalent kindiction is. Kindicts are sleeping less, having issues with their partners, and spending more:

KindleBoard member Shalom Israel wrote:
"No one told me that the Kindle and the Kindle Boards community would cost me hours of sleep!"
One of the responses indicates that Kindles are "highly addictive" and suggests creating a "Kindles Anonymous"

Also in KindleBoard, member Jeansaint laments: "...the Kindle addiction makes it difficult to save money on books"
Kindle users purchase more books than they normally would have, which ends up costing more.

Tammy on Bukisa is apparently a kindict on the road to recovery, since she now leaves the Kindle at home when she's out with her husband.

Jane Isay at the Huffingtonpost started taking to her Kindle, explaining why she was away from it (it looks like she recovered).

Finally, Violet Blue in SFGate strikes at the heart of the matter, writing:
"...with the way the Kindle has been absorbed by consumers, it's surprising that we aren't seeing annoying "Kindle addiction" sites spring up around the net."

Violet, on behalf of all the kindicts out there, you're welcome!
