Yeah, gimme!

You guys have totally missed the point. It's not about the novel and whether some words are banned or not. It's got little to do with censorship. It's about the concept of reading a novel on an iPod or iPhone. It's called proof of concept. If it takes off, then there will be a special area for adults only where one can download adult material. You want the full book with all the words intact? Go to Amazon. No Kindle edition there, I note, so the book will cost you $15.95 plus shipping. The App-version is FREE so you can see whether you like reading on that tiny screen.

A work around is to put your favorite book complete with dirty words in .pdf format on your computer, download one of the apps like "Air Sharing" that lets you treat your i-device like an external hard drive, and move the .pdf to your i-device and then read it on the small screen and see if you can finish the book before you go blind.

What Amazon SHOULD have done is go to Apple and said "Hey, design me an e-reader that would be cool." Instant success.

Islamic University? Isn't that an oxymoron?

CSIRO runs technology in AU -- http://www.csiro.au/org/AboutCSIRO.html

Gazillions of dollars at stake here -- they'll eventually work it out so all the fat cats win a huger piece of the pie, and you lose.

Just remember, folks, it's not only illegal to USE one of these devices, it is totally, absolutely illegal to even OWN one in the US. And, it's a federal crime. Think twice before you buy -- the chances of getting caught aren't all that great, but the penalties if you do can be dleterious to your health, wallet, social life, and career!

I really need this.

Mes! Meeeeee!

Hey, Zeus -- get real. Oxyride is a dry-cell technology that is somewhat different from NiMH -- has a higher volatage for one. And the rest of you, wake up and smell the marketing armpit. The company sells dry cell batteries, it's new flagship battery uses what they call oxyride technology, so they aren't really interested in what's the best way to power this thing, they're intersted in the buzz they can get for their batteries so sales will go up.
