Re: Kindle: Amazon\'s new wireless reading device

$400 seems really reasonable for what you get. Can't believe people think it's overpriced. [/ QUOTE ] What exactly do you get for $400? I guess if you have an existing library of compatible books you get something. Otherwise you still have to pay before you can really start using the device.

This is the first of its type to market (...I think) which is going to allow them to charge the inflated price. I remember purchasing a ProScan DVD player when DVD players first hit the market - $750. New technology is fun and the bragging rights are cool but it never comes cheap. Wait a year or two when the competition gets in the game and improves functionality and compatibility. This Kindle 1.0 will look like a dinosaur in no time. As of now I wouldn't buy one simply because the technology is not where I would want it to be for such a device. I'd have to buy an new one in a year. I can wait. But if you gotta' have one then you gotta' have one. I can respect that.

Re: Kindle: Amazon\'s new wireless reading device
The only real advantage to this is if you want to read Wikipedia while not home or have a need for a large portable library. The biggest advantage a book has, especially a paperback, is simply its comfort and flexibility to hold and an electronic device cannot match that. Also unless you're just starved for room, a bunch of books in your home looks good. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
