Farmville "sucks" in color. That game is so freaking stupid. I think its dual purpose for existence is to keep brainless idiots busy during the day and hog half the bandwidth of the entire planet...

I, for one, am ashamed that out of all of the great games out there, Farmville is the most popular game in the world. D:

Might not keep me from adding an iPad but it will improve my PDF experience.

I cannot however imaging a great real time experience with Twitter and Facebook.

Yeah, the iPad does everything for you.

Also, there will be a feature enabling you to see popular highlighted or bookmarked pages, based on the entire Amazon communities highlights and marks.

The lack of the "PDF Pan and Zoom" feature is one reason why I did not even consider buying a Kindle, since I ready have several e-books in PDF.

I am so sick of turning off my Kindle and seeing a picture of Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen or Alexandre Dumas. I don't read books by any of these people so WHY THE HELL ARE THEY EVEN ON MY KINDLE!

I would love it if my Kindle would show me the cover the book I'm currently reading... just like a real book.

I hate the fact that my Kindle has a personality of its own. That's lame. The iPad will bury the Kindle if Amazon does not get off their fat asses and accelerate the rate of improvements. (Note that I said improvement, not innovation... organizing my books into folders isn't innovative).]]>Apr 29th 2010 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/Apr 29th 2010 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/>The iPad will bury the Kindle if Amazon...

I do not own iPad or Kindle, but I do not see how I will prefer iPad to a Kindle. Kindle may have issues, but I will take that over iPad.

I will always take Dell Vostro V13 running the Winner 7 over iPad.]]>Apr 29th 2010 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=400528&postcount=150]]>Apr 29th 2010 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/Apr 29th 2010 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/Apr 29th 2010 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/Apr 29th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/Apr 29th 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/kindle-version-2-5-update-gets-facebooked-and-twitterized/
In practice, you very quickly get used to it and don't notice it as you flip to the next page, just as you probably no longer notice the same thing on a paper book.
