It actually wouldn't need to be drastically larger than the current unit (wider, yes) to accommodate a significantly larger screen... if they dropped the waste of space that is the keyboard. I want to read on a reader, not write a novel. Wikipedia is nice but I think there is a better place for that feature on other devices. All you need is a good touch interface.]]>May 4th 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/
Guess we europeans will have to wait for the Bebook 2 for our wireless book reading gadget needs.

I see wit and cleverness is more important than grammar.

How big will the K3 be? I surely hope it does not cost as much as a netbook, and that it DOES have an SD-card slot.]]>May 4th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/I guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is space reserved on the display specifically for ads, which I'm fine with, as long as it costs significantly cheaper!

I'm sure they have something interesting planned.]]>May 4th 2009 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/May 4th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/

I wonder if she really thinks she can stop piracy by not offering a paid, official ebook version of her books - imho it only drives fans that much more to look for other ways to get their favourite books as electronic versions, whether she likes that or not.]]>May 4th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/

To be used for textbooks, doesn't that mean it needs color? or at least more shades of gray?]]>May 4th 2009 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/May 4th 2009 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/May 4th 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/amazon-press-event-wednesday-may-6th-see-you-and-then-new-kind/
Of course, I haven't read a traditional newspaper in over a decade, so I'm probably not the market segment they would be aiming for.

Nevertheless they did indicate they would eventually get it up in the EU too (and if they are smart in the dubai region too)
