Especially on the morning and evening (business) flights. I've been on flights with probably 20 (out of 150 passengers).

I quite like mine, actually, even though I came into it hating Amazon (it was a gift).]]>Jul 28th 2010 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/
They sold out in 2 days? It even sounds like an artificially low stock. If it took 1 or 2 weeks to sell out, then perhaps I'd believe it, or not be so cynical. ]]>Jun 13th 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/
The whole question of "So what?" pops up..especially when oranges down the street cost $.33 / each.

There are other ebook readers out there.

Kindle seems to be one of the few devices that ignore the cost cutting benefits of competition lol.

Do I blame them Amazon? Of course not. I just cant believe people are falling for it...]]>Jun 12th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/
"Kindle seems to be one of the few devices that ignore the cost cutting benefits of competition lol."

What do you mean? The new DX is hundreds of dollars less than the similar sized iRex. The Kindle 2 is similar in price to other epaper-based ebook readers. The Sony is $300 and the Kindle is $360 (with free wirelsss). Even most of the cheap, no-name devces out there are about the same price.

This is early in the technology curve for this kind of product and the prices are likely to come down over time. If you're not an early adopter, wait until it gets to a price point that you feel comfortable with. In the mean time, I'm enjoying reading on mine.]]>Jun 12th 2009 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/The value of the always-there internet connection, built into the price, is high for some.

Being able to read with minimal eye-strain is pretty nice, as well.]]>Jul 28th 2010 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/
Yes... there are other devices that can do more. But as a book reader... a book reader is the best book reader.]]>Jun 12th 2009 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/
Yeah...pointing out 3 mundane features really just proves Gilbertos point even more, not to mention the fact that the kindle isnt the only ebook reader.]]>Jun 12th 2009 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 14th 2009 2:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/Jun 12th 2009 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/

I'm sure that most people who own a Kindle keep it on their nightstand or put it in a bookcase, like a real book.

Personally, I fit the profile, so I love Kindle to the point of being reluctant to buy paper books now. How many are like me? No clue. How many more would be like me at $99? More than 10 times more. At $39? Ten times that. Only Amazon has a clue about what that 100x might multiply, and what the segment trends might be.]]>Jun 12th 2009 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/12/kindle-dx-sold-out-but-not-for-long/
