A skiff can refer to a small boat that ferrys you to a larger craft. In that context it almost makes sense]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/

The name though however is HORRENDOUS...seriously I don't need my e-reader to be naked after a STD.

Unless you have some expertise in slang terminology for VDs, then your mind wont go there.

Also skiff is the name of a small boat.]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/

The Kindle is available internationally.

@ITRanger: The que.com website says it can't be shipped internationally (again for no reason whatsoever - at least for the wifi version). It's not available until April anyway, so maybe they will release it in Europe then too. I seriously doubt it though.]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/Jan 7th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/
I guess I will have to make friends with someone in America who could ship it to me (suitably disguised to avoid import duty!)]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/Jan 7th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/Jan 7th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/

I suspect the market is moving a lot faster than they anticipated and they might be caught on the back foot by other companies giving people what they want. Same as happened with mobile phones & broadband when the real competition started.

Bring it on!

The nice thing about the Kindle is that it's quite portable, and fits in a purse, coat pocket, or backpack easily. This thing's huge. It's not going to replace the Kindle for people who are primarily interested in novels.

For tech manual fans, periodical fans, and comic book fans, it MIGHT be worth it.

Good luck finding non-pirated, non-DRM content to put on it, though.]]>Jan 8th 2010 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/skiff-e-reader-hands-on-kindle-watch-out/
