That is true.

Rofl. You are a clueless troll. First of all, all Kindle readers can connect to the web over wireless, which allows them access to ANY website.

STFU, please.

@Everyone else

Looks sweet! Nice spec bump! Would still prefer to see a bit more openness as far as reader file formats go. Also, it's almost unusable for anything other than casual reading due to not having page numbers.

In summary: Awesome look, awesome spec bump, still not for me. Happy with my Nook.]]>Jul 28th 2010 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-amazon-kindle-announced-139-wifi-only-version-and-189-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-amazon-kindle-announced-139-wifi-only-version-and-189-3g/

I'm glad they stuck with the option for white. I think it feels more book-ish. I'm glad they keep improving these.

Two hardware buttons do NOT go to the home screen. There is a Home button that specifically goes to the home screen, a menu button that accesses additional options on each screen, a back button to go to the previous screen, and a dedicated search button to search in whatever application or in the entire phone.

Get informed before you troll.

I wouldn't be surprised if he IS microsoftowns. They've both existed for about the same amount of time, and they've both been commenting anti-android/iphone pro microsoft.

And they did have the same opinion on the "clock" setting in Sense.

Nope. Sometimes it opens a button to search, but that's the program designer's issue, not Android's.

Seriously? Your entire hatred of Android stems from an "ugliness" that you can't specify, and the fact that you don't understand how the buttons work? Seriously?

Apple has some 'splaining to do. Why does adding a 3G radio add $129 to the price of an iPad, yet the Kindle adds the radio and lifetime service for just $50?

I only wish Amazon had some sort of deal along the lines of:

Buy the paper version of the book, get a token for the Kindle version free.

I'd buy a Kindle in a heartbeat. I love reading books on it and all its features. I DONT like the fact that I have zero actual books to build a real library with.

Call me old fashioned but when I'm 50 I wanna have a room in my house with thousands of books that I can go in, sit in a leather chair, sip some cognac and read a real, paper, book.

Can't do that with a library of Kindle files... :(]]>Jul 28th 2010 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-amazon-kindle-announced-139-wifi-only-version-and-189-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-amazon-kindle-announced-139-wifi-only-version-and-189-3g/Maybe you can petition your local library to open a reading room that allows cigars and cognac. ]]>Jul 28th 2010 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-amazon-kindle-announced-139-wifi-only-version-and-189-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-amazon-kindle-announced-139-wifi-only-version-and-189-3g/Jul 28th 2010 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-amazon-kindle-announced-139-wifi-only-version-and-189-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-amazon-kindle-announced-139-wifi-only-version-and-189-3g/

Most AMAZING book ever.

This is the first book I've read in 10 years. I was all about reading blogs and whatnot too. Blogs are great for quick bits of info, but only a well-written book can *truly* educate you.

I've been itching for a kindle for a while... I might pull the trigger on this once it launches...
