Question for Kindle users: is it backlit? If it was night time and I wanted to read in a car / room with no lights, could you? - JaxSean Nov 26, 14:45 13
- OK thanks, all. - JaxSean Nov 26, 14:53

  - Did you get a book light? I just went to one of the Kindle pages and saw that one of their accessories tabs is for book lights. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 14:49 4
    - I have a book light for mine. It works fine. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 26, 15:10 1
      - Might as well just read a book, then. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 15:11
    - I didn't, as I dont read in the dark or in cars at night. I'm usually just using it before bed with the lamp on... -- nm - kelly Nov 26, 14:52
    - I don't have a book light, since I never find myself trying to read in the dark. - ty97 Nov 26, 14:51
- Fire, yes, other kindles, no. That's my understanding, I could be wrong. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 14:45 3
  - I think of the Fire as just being another tablet-like device (we have the gTablet), so I did mean the e-ink versions. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 14:47 1
    - yeah, just like a book but without hundres of pages. Gotta have a light, as far as I know. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 14:48

    - Kilmer, Keaton, Bale. -- nm - Remlik Nov 26, 14:02 6
      - Kilmer over Keaton? - eag Nov 26, 14:04 5
        
        yep. Keaton's Wayne wasn't as nearly realized as Kilmer's. -- nm - Remlik Nov 26, 14:06 3
        
        I reluctantly agree. I love Keaton as batman but the way he plays it is so... Maybe "misaligned to canon"? nm - amanda, couch po ta to Nov 26, 14:52
        
        I would put Keaton then Bale then Kilmer than Adam West - eag Nov 26, 14:08 1
        
        And Clooney would agree with you. -- nm - the liioulu with rain Nov 26, 14:16
        
        Hard to compare. -- nm - the liioulu with rain Nov 26, 14:05

LYC: I know I'm late to the party but I'm reading "Y The Last Man" and it's awesome! - Krusty Nov 26, 13:15 12
- have you read Fables yet? -- nm - Beaker Nov 26, 13:39 11
  - Nope, do you recommend it? I'm just getting back into reading comics and "Y" is the first I picked up. - Krusty Nov 26, 13:48 10
    - Scalped, DMZ, Scot Snyder's Batman series,The Boys, Northlanders...all good stuff -- nm - Remlik Nov 26, 14:00 5 1
      - see, I love The Boys; but don't think I could recommend to anyone. Ennis' Punisher run would be a good buy though -- nm - Beaker Nov 26, 14:27 3
        
        well I always warn them what it is. Goofy Ennis as compared to serious Ennis and his Punisher run. and let's not even talked Crossed -- nm - Remlik Nov 26, 14:34 2
        
        (the goofiness is kinda over though with the last few issues and the Butcher mini; the Homelander/Butcher tilt should be epic) -- nm - Beaker Nov 26, 14:46
        
        I also always recommend: Flash: Rogue War; JLA: Tower of Babel and Action Comics #775 (likely my favorite single issue of any comic) -- nm - Beaker Nov 26, 14:40
      - Grazie, Pusher Man. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 14:09
    - best out there imo (David will also sing it's virtues); Once Upon a Time and Grimm ripped it off pretty badly... -- nm - Beaker Nov 26, 13:54 3
      - I wouldn't say Grimm has any real connections with it unless you're going to say anything that uses fairy tale characters is - Reagen Nov 26, 14:20 1
        
        it'll depend on where they go with the characters (assuming it sticks around) -- nm - Beaker Nov 26, 14:26
      - I'm really enjoying Grimm. I'll check it out. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 13:58

  - I have actually seen the "guy injured on the floor" ploy, before. - Spawn Nov 26, 12:14 1

- were there trampling deaths this year? -- nm - amanda Nov 26, 11:18 3
  - none that i've heard of -- nm - black pixie Nov 26, 11:20 2
