Re: Kindle: Amazon\'s new wireless reading device
True I agree there may be markets for this type of device as technology improves, and additional uses will be found for it that aren't yet available.
But for casual readers of novels I doubt it will be a big must-have. Perhaps I'll be proven wrong as the price goes down, the design gets better and smaller, and more people adopt it.
They've been trying to get e-book readers like this off the ground for some time with pretty much zero success. My feeling is that it's because printed books are just fine as they are. Then again I'm an old (and old-fashioned) book lover so the younger generation may feel differently.
