I have Attract Money Now as a PDF on my Kindle. I'm also a bookaholic and with the Kindle I can download books instantly and they take up less space and more portable. I like how it can sync where I left off reading on my iPhone Kindle software. I listen to alot of audio books while I commute, so the audio book reading feature is an added bonus. Some book I highly recommend are: The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, 59 Seconds: Think a Little Change a Lot by Richard Wiseman, author of The Luck Factor and Quirkology is science-based self-help book with ways to improve your life in less than a minute.   Lastly, Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation by Dr Daniel Siegel. Also reading Complaint Free Relationships by Will Bowen.  BTW I got the DVD/CD of the movie Beyond Belief with you in it. Hi Joe,  I have been a huge fan of your books for many years.

My daughter had lightly "suggested" that she wanted the Nook. But until it becomes a full force "nagging" I knew I was safe for a few more months, which is time enough to read and compare the array of choices. Wouldn't it be grand to have a device that wasn't linked to any particular store (B&N or Amazon) not that I'm against either one, it just seems confining. So Joe, do you know if at some point the books you have on your extensive wish list at Amazon will ever be available for purchase and download? I love the whole concept of these devices, however agree with you wholeheartedly about the books in print. It's the same with the newspaper to me, sure you can read it online now....but it's not so fun doing the crosswords on a computer and I really don't like getting in bed with my laptop. Same with the book, snuggling up with a good book will never be replaced...in my book that is!

Paul Myers was talking to me about this as the new eBook publishing platform for electronic publishers two years ago but I just have not had time to get around to it. Now that Kindles take PDFs I am way more excited. However don't discount that new Sony device. When ever I see anyone using one of these (Kindle or Sony) in public I do ask them how they feel about it and most who now have Sonys say they like it better than the Kindle. Thanks for your take on this Joe! You may want to look into things like blog subscriptions on the Kindle, newspaper daily subs and the like.

I am testing out Barnes and Noble's ebook software on my computer, and it was fun to get some free Ebooks. I had bought my first Ebook from Barnes, and it was your book "The Solution". I am going through it on my computer, until I can decide whether to get a Kindle or a Nook. It is quite a comparison... and yet, there are rumors that seem to be almost confirmed that Apple is about to come out with a tablet/ebook reader.... Until then, I will just read your blog on your Kindle Experience, and read the latest book of yours online. It is adding to a growing collection of Joe Vitale books and courses. My intention is to someday have a copy of ALL your books you have written, even the earlier ones. Have fun, merry xmas, happy birthday, and happy New Year!!! Eric Hope your Kindle is working out.

I wanted to have a Kindle, too, but it seems Santa forgot to give me anything. Perhaps because I wasn't in our house when he was delivering the gifts? (We're still here in NY vacationing). (sigh!) Anyways, glad to know you like Kindle coz I've always wanted one eversince I heard about it. I have most of your giveaways on PDF files and thought it would be awesome to be able to easily 'brag' and share them with friends and family anywhere I go. ("Oh, Santa, I know it was hard for you to find me coz we kept hopping from one city to another, but from now till Jan 13th, we will be in one address where you can ask one of your reindeers to deliver my gift. Just shoot me an email. Thanks.") LOL Wow! I’m so green with envy. I wanted to have a Kindle, too, but it seems Santa forgot to give me anything.

Thank you. The original Bullworker I have from 40 years ago was all metal, no straps, and is still indestructible. Years ago I interviewed the copywriter who wrote the ads that caused me to buy the device way back when. He said they lost money at first because the Bullworker was made of top materials and they didn't/couldn't charge enough to make a profit. I'm assuming the next generation of Bullworker at that time had cloth straps. I've never seen it. Anyway, I'm delighted to see the isometric exercise device still around, and in a new and improved form. Thanks again. Blessings joe Great information. Thank you.

Joe, like you I also owned the Bullworker. Which at that time was called the Tensolator. It was a two tube system, with green handles. Since that day there have been changes in the design of the Bullworker type products. Are you familiar with the Bully Xtreme 3? Here's the details ... this guy Frank Sherrill wasn't happy with the quality of the Bullworker X5 and decided to redesign the Bullworker X5 a couple of years back. Instead of making it out of inexpensive plastic ... He had it made out of steel. Here's the scary part the straps on the Bullworker X5 always move around when you're exercising . This makes it very difficult to do some exercises . Then on top of that the straps can "fray." With repeated use, they’ll rip apart and hurt the user. Kinda like pulling on a rubber band that breaks and snaps back at ya. So here’s what he does, he designs the Bully Xtreme 3 with steel cables (instead of cloth straps.) And best of all he had the manufacturer seal the cables at “25 tons of pressure!” Making them virtually indestructible. And finally, he had the cables wrapped with a thick and durable plastic to protect the users hands. Bottom line... you have a product that he warranties for a “lifetime” and it provides more resistance for the bigger muscle groups such as your back, legs etc.. This was always a problem area with the Bullworker X5. It gave you a great upper body workout however, when it came to your legs it just plain stunk. I know that you have nostalgic memories of that old Bullworker -- so do I. However, you should give the Bully Xtreme a try. I have no financial interest or affiliate link this is just making you aware of what many people including myself think is the superior product. Bullworker Guy PS I hope you will not see this post as spam but, will give me the opportunity to let your readers know about a product that is superior to the old Bullworker that you and I remember. Hello Joe,

Joe, like you I also owned the Bullworker. Which at that time was called the Tensolator. It was a two tube system, with green handles.

Instead of making it out of inexpensive plastic … He had it made out of steel.

I was under the impression that you could only add kindle ready ebooks to the kindle so I was delighted when I read that you could transfer via a USB from your own pc. I have hundreds of great e-books on my laptop including your own Attract Money Now and after reading your review it has made me want to look at the Kindle again. Thanks, Amanda Joe,

They don't offer them in the Middle East yet. I fear that the Kindle will cause the end of books as we know them. Just as the digital revolution is causing a decline in CD and DVD sales, I fear the same will happen to books. I never thought something like this would happen. I love the idea of having a massive (physical) library and walking through it, holding the books, thumbing through them and deciding which one to read. Oh well, that's progress I suppose. I suspect that when my kids grow up they'll think of "libraries" as things on laptops and Kindles. Have a great new year doc. Congrats on your new Kindle.
