If you don't even try a Kindle screen to read text to experience text on a sunlight readable e-ink screen, then you can have no idea what it's about.

At least if people at your campus can't understand that carrying one touchscreen E-ink reader would be tons of times better than carrying hundreds of books on all your subjects, and that correcting, proof-reading, commenting, finding stuff for your dissertation using a touch-screen wacom E-ink device and collaborating with other students all over the world like that is tons of times better than carrying a stupid iphone which basically is an oversized mobile phone with crappy applications that nobody uses and a locked down itunes store for crappy expensive commercial music. ]]>Feb 22nd 2009 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/Feb 22nd 2009 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/Feb 22nd 2009 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/Feb 22nd 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/Feb 22nd 2009 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/22/kindle-2-shipping-now/
Needless to say, this a niche of a niche product. Amazon will be lucky to sell a few hundred thousand units at $360. Netbook PC or Kindle?

Who cares? This thing looks like it's from 1980. You wouldn't think that there would be such a hype over a thing that reads e-books. Am I the only one who isn't exactly "wowed" by this brick?

I have had a Kindle 1 for over a year now, and it is a great device.
I use it daily to read. For those who would disdain this, the Internet is not a place to boast of your Ludditery. You might as well argue that you should give up your cell phone, after all, a good old twisted pair phone is reliable and if you want to make a call, it is right there.

it's simply too limited to justify it's exorbitant cost which is compounded by all the books you'll be adding to it. as much as i love to read there's a practical, smarter side of me that just knows better. for what they're asking you might as well throw in an extra hundred towards an entire desktop/laptop. (at least that pays for itself in less than a year.)]]>Feb 22nd 2009 6:25PM
