Cool gadget nevertheless.]]>Apr 20th 2008 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/Apr 20th 2008 6:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/
It can be viewed on a much larger screen.

E-ink, which is much more comfortable to read than a backlit lcd.

One touch book, magazine and newspaper purchases on the free EVDO connection.

Way better battery life.

While the Kindle does have some physical flaws, most e-ink readers like the Kindle, the Sony PRS 500/505, Cybook, Iliad, etc make a far superior reading experience than that of a tiny PDA screen.]]>Apr 20th 2008 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/
I honestly that many of the people in this thread who are attacking this product are not heavy readers. And that is a shame, because studies have shown that heavy readers are better people (fabrication, joke, but I agree with the sentiment).

I will say that, while the ev-do connectivity of the kindle, and the associated ability to buy books on the fly is an innovative and potentially useful attribute, the way the device is crippled to using amazon proprietary formats is rather annoying, and frankly counterproductive.

Granted it would be nice for comics and such, but the technology to do that in e-ink simply isnt there. It would probably end up being light-sensing OLED for color in the future, seeing as how e-ink is limited.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/Apr 20th 2008 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/Apr 20th 2008 6:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/I don't think this will sell out anymore.]]>Apr 20th 2008 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.digitimes.com/displays/a20080418PD204.html, PVI provided 60% of its e-ink modules for Amazon Kindle, and PVI produced 60,000 to 80,000 monthly, that means from November, which was Kindle's release month, there're around 21,000 pieces shipped for Kindle. Maybe this is the maximum sale amount for Amazon Kindle in this five months. By the way, one e-ink module is about $70 to $80. Usually in OEM/ODM industry, the total BOM cost is half of the sale price, display costs $70~80 plus other components, like PCB, EVDO chip...etc. and the most important it's free to browse via Sprint. So I think for now it has limited space to cut the price down to $200.]]>Apr 20th 2008 6:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/Apr 20th 2008 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/Apr 20th 2008 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/Apr 20th 2008 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/20/amazon-kindle-is-back-in-stock/just like the iPod was.

Wait...

What I do not need are more formats,more proprietary closed systems.
Not for me,or any self-respecting gadget guy,
until it is hacked.

Simple USB Mass Storage access,
and no proprietary file limitations.
note /doc capability are no brainers.

Unlimited web access to read Time magazine?

Such a deal.
