National Kindle & Koffee Day

First proposed on the Amazon Kindle forums and now being promoted by several other kindle boards, June 6th has been declared the "official" National Kindle & Koffee Day. Take your Kindle to your local Starbucks (or other local/national coffee shop) at 10:00AM local time and read while having a cup of coffee (or another beverage of your choice). Perhaps you'll meet up with other local Kindlers or someone wanting to see a Kindle in person. You might want to work on your home page, if you've downloaded some of the racier freebies available lately, just in case you want to give someone a demo. I will say that at my local Starbucks, this won't be any different than any other time I've been there (and so far, no one has seemed to notice my Kindle or they are all too polite to interrupt my reading).

Need a suggestion of what to read for this important day? How about It's Not About the Coffee ($9.99) by Howard Behar? Don't forget to dress up your Kindle 2 or Kindle Klassic for the occasion.
