@ECVOICE I do. Read the Chicago Tribune on the train every morning. Seems kind of an odd choice for Dow since only the newest Sony readers have wireless access. The legacy readers would have to hook the reader up to their PC daily.

Great. Now I will need a charging dock for my Kindle in the bathroom.

I gave up using a laptop on my lap when I stopped wearing pants with built in heat shields.

How can you be much happier when you've never tried the Sonos speaker?

Can we just make "cheaper" the default first comment for every "How would you change X product"?

If Amazon sold the Kindle for $50 they'd go bankrupt. Unfortunately, technology costs money.

Fortunately I read and don't edit books as my typing sucks.

This article is wrong. From Amazon directly:

"Publishers choose whether they apply DRM to their content and thus determine how many copies of each title can be downloaded to different Kindle devices at the same time. There is no limit on the number of times a title can be downloaded, only limits on the number of simultaneous devices."

You can download the book as much as you want. The publisher can limit how many devices can have the content at the same time. The worst case scenario is it is exactly like a book, you can only have it in one place at one time, but in the instance the author used, the book is in 3 locations as once. Sounds reasonable to me.

I like like information. My Kindle 2 let'e me have 70+ books as reference material at my finger tips. I find it much better than a physical book. As for the 1894 thing, they did refund the money and there is a valid version available for purchase.

Maybe you work in the wrong industry. I fly 100,000+ miles a year. In my office, we have about 30 people with kindles and it get's higher everyday. If you drive a car to work everyday, this thing is little value to you, but if you travel weekly, the Kindle is great. Look beyond your circle and you might find that a lot of people buy them. Amazon's did state that when a Kindle version of a book is available, 35% of the sales are to Kindles. Based on penetration, not only isn't it "dead", it is obviously generating good revenue for amazon.

DisplayPort doesn't support TrueHD or DTSHD and an adaptor doesn't solve the issue so his point is valid as these are current codecs used in home theater. HDMI also supports 12 bit xvycc colorspace and DisplayPort doesn't.

I-Pod Sales only increased in ROW. There was 3% decrease in iPod sales in the US year over year, which was more much more than $100 million in revenue. Since the Zune is only sold in the US, it shouldn't be surprising that sales decrease with the economy. It would be better if we know the percentage drop in sales.
