I'm a fan of ebook technology and I love concept of carrying a whole library in a small device. Just as I am now starting to digitize my whole movie collection to go with my already huge digitized music collection that has made a need for small devices to carry such media. I already have tons of books in pdf format so why not have a device that can store and show this format?A bigger screen is needed for those who use pdf technology. But here is one serious flaw with this technology. The bookmarks and navigation needs to be a lot faster. We are now living in a world with time measured in milliseconds everyday and while a simple browsing of a magazine and newspaper page by page might be acceptable can you really imagine sitting in class with a kindle dx and the professor says, "class turn to page 239 on your kindle"? How long would that take? "Now class look in your index for the answer to question 45". Somebody should have timed a real world example of this. Better yet how about an open book test with the kindle dx. Wouldn't happen. I hope people realize that when a true magazine subscription service like Zinio and comic publishing giants like marvel and Dc and other independents jump on the bandwagon and venture on either amazon's kindle or sony's ereader will forever change that devices future and shoot it to the top(hint). Of course apple could do this and make everyone praise their name again.
