eBook reader review

Lately I’ve been typing out my shownotes in a google friendly format.
On Brief #262 I review the Amazon Kindle eBook reader [1]. It’s all
about the good, the bad, and the ugly, also known as the function, the
feel and the look. I have lots of criticism for the hardware, and a
little bit about the software, but I love reading on the Kindle. On a
scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being a :CueCat [2] barcode reader and 10
being an iPhone, I give Kindle a seven. It’s a first generation
device with plenty of room for improvement, but for early adopters who
love books and Amazon.com, the negatives are easily tolerated. Now,
Amazon, bring on version two!

One of the cool experiment features of Kindle is something called
“Ask Kindle NowNow” and it rocks. At the time we shot, I hadn’t
gotten an answer to the question I asked. By upload time, I received
a very thorough and impressive answer. I just might be about to
recoup my investment in the reader by using NowNow. You’ll have to
watch to know what I’m talking about.

Sony has a new line of high-end headphones and they’ve made the
brilliant decision to enlist my help in spreading the message. I
haven’t had a chance to try the MDR-EX90LP earbuds [3], but the
design is beautiful and the specs make we want to try them. You can
