Here is the review for the Amazon Kindle. The Amazon Kindle is available on Amazon.com for $399.99 It uses the Sprint EVDO network to access data much like a cell phone without a wireless hotspot and most of all, it is free. It has 256 MB of internal storage and provides an SD memory card slot along with a USB mini slot, along with a headphone jack.

I thought the big deal was the electronic paper screen. Iphone is LCD. How do you compare apples an oranges?

Why would anyone buy this grey plastic piece of when you can have an IPHONE 3G with stanza, which is currently outstripping kindle sales hugely.
Thats right,full colour screen, cellphone, internet, amazing touch interface, games, email, ipod, video..need I go on?

You are right …
You are right SailorBarsoom and am on the same track. Instead of selling these crappy B/W machines at ridiculous price they should plan to give it away free through subscriptions commitments. Just like Apple did for the schools is a great idea.
Now that’s an idea. …
Now that’s an idea. They could even make it like a sort of Book of the Month Club: agree to buy a book each month for $12 (instead of $9.99) for three years and get the Kindle free.
How about schools? Amazon gives each student a Kindle, and the school buys all those textbooks? Sell the text books at a slight loss. You’ve now got thousands of kids with Kindles who will want to buy Harry Potter or whatever. AND the kid doesn’t have to lug 20 Kg of books around.

You can enlarge the print with the Kindle. I don’t know if I’ll get one or not, but print size isn’t a concern.
If I do get one, I’m going to wait for the price to go down.

Amazon should give this away free. They can make monies from newspaper subscriptions and books downloaded by users.

For $358 you can get a full laptop computer. Amazon is out of touch with its pricing. I think $100 or less would be reasonable considering that Amazon make monies from your purchase of books, newspaper and blogs you subscribes to. Just like inkjet printer selling cheap they can make monies from sale of the consumables- ink cartridges.

i think your book would get more than damp if you dropped it into the bath tub. just sayin

this is nice..yet to be effective they should drop the price on the e-books..

To each his own, I shower.
when i lounge around enough to read a book, it’s usually a very comfortable spot. Such as a hammack, or our big overstuffed recliner.
i’ve never found the tub too comfortaboe to sitting in one spot for too long. ;P
So the kindle would be near perfect for me, hundreds of books stored. light weight (I do heavy reading, 500-1000 page novels in short time.)

Reading :p It don’t matter too much if a paperback gets damp. Can’t go getting a Kindle damp, it tends to void the warranty.

they should have the ability to turn one off and on.

You actually can convert it for free they charge only for delivering it wirelessly but if you convert it then use your USB port its free.

ROFL “The future of books” … hmmmmm, I doubt it. Drop a paperback in the bath, and you might think “oh well” Drop your Kindle or whatever e-reader in the bath and you start crying.
Kindle has a …
Kindle has a high-speed EVDO connection and there’s no monthly charge, unlike the iPhone. The iPhone is MUCH more expensive when you realize you have to pay not only the up-front price but then you also have to pay for monthly service.
It seems like you need to take a good look at how you handle your own finances.
This is a stupid …
This is a stupid invention. For the amount of money one pays for this device, they could by an iPhone which is an E-book reader and like a million things more. It’s like someone inventing a bow and arrow when a gun is already invented. AND THEN PRICE IT HIGHER!
Anyone who buys this needs to seriously consider the way they handle their finances.
