Bezos, we all know you're releasing this. At least put out a vague, buzzword-laden release with some acceptable pictures for damage control.]]>Nov 16th 2007 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/Nov 16th 2007 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/Nov 16th 2007 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/Nov 16th 2007 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/Nov 16th 2007 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/
Why would anyone think for a moment that not being able to see the display in a dark car/plane/bus/bedroom/whatever would be ok?]]>Nov 16th 2007 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/Nov 16th 2007 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/It's suppose to be sharp and readable and needs no power while displaying.

Plus, the software has built-in links to several other stores that sell compatible files, so you aren't stuck with just Mobipocket themselves.

And if you already own a mobile device, that means you don't have to go out and purchase this thing. Though if the Kindle does wind up supporting Mobipocket, it may be the best eBook device to read on.]]>Nov 16th 2007 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/
When these ebooks are priced under $50 I'll consider them. ]]>Nov 16th 2007 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/Nov 16th 2007 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/16/amazon-to-launch-kindle-e-book-reader-on-monday/And it's just for reading, and can store tons of books in a small space (compared to tons of books)

Remember. 97% of the songs in iPods are user-generated MP3s, not the songs from the iTunes store.
The same thing with the ebooks is going to repeat. 97% of the content that will drive the sales of these ebook readers is not going to come from the online ebook stores but from the ability by average users around the world to be able to create their own ebooks to fill the devices.

Well, they are the same gang after all, but the bottom line this device is of very little value propositions to customers. Why another stupid looking device, in addition to what i have - a nice iMac and an iPhone both of which have WiFi support? Why not just install a client software on iMac or iPhone to do that same thing? Why bother to pay $399?

Wake up, Amazon or Palm guys! Simple market research can avoid this failure from the beginning.

Hopefully the Kindle will also be able to read all those PDF files that are flying around the internet. Especially in research there are tons of publications available as PDF files. This would really help to have one device where you can easily read them.]]>Nov 24th 2007 7:43AM
