You're not the target audience. Move on. Get a palmtop or tablet PC. This isn't your gadget.

And I didn't flame you specifically-- It was everybody who bags on the Kindle because it can't display color or play videos or any of a dozen other things it's not made to do. This is to replace books; Not to replace a computer.

They make other devices that do what you want; It makes no sense to attack this one for being designed with another function in mind.]]>May 29th 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/

They might decrease the price.
They might make it with a touchscreen.
They might redesign it to reduce the size, or increase the percentage that is the screen.
They might make it with a 3G radio that would work world-wide.
They might update the Wifi to 802.11n
They might increase the amount of storage
They might improve the text to speech
They might improve the web browsing
They might improve its compatibility with PDFs or non-Amazon eBooks, even CBR format comics (in greyscale)
They might increase the number of shades of grey
They might improve the speaker, so you can use it as a music player
They might add a backlight
They might make it in colors
They might build the cover into it
They might make it foldable, or let you see two pages at once
They might give it a slide-out keyboard
They might add an accelerometer
They might ...

I've heard that there is already a new controller that supports 5-bit (32 shades) grayscale. So that's definitely a possibility.]]>May 29th 2009 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/May 29th 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/May 29th 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/
It does newspapers, but of course they have to be reformatted for it. I wish the magazines I want to read were available for it (even just the tech ones). Sure there are pictures and such, but honestly, grey-scale would be fine.

The alternative is that a lot of these magazines are going to go out of business, replaced by the web. If I could get PC Magazine on my kindle, I might actually continue to subscribe. When I'm at my PC I don't stay in Zimbio long enough, always another web site to check or email or chat. I can read a magazine in bed or on the couch, and could see using a Kindle for that too.

Have to see how this develops. Not sure how much work it is to adapt magazines to the Kindle screen limitations. Possible that the DX could avoid this issue, but there's simply no way I'm going to spend *that* much money...]]>May 29th 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/a-color-kindle-is-years-away-buyers-remorse-here-to-stay/
