This guy Jeff Bezos is a real ass**le don’t believe anything good he says, or don’t be foul by his credo Amazon is earth friendliest and holistic crap- he steals moneys from buyers and mostly sellers  to pump up Amazon quarterly earnings, in addition a secret club within Amazon call Amazon performance team are bullies , tugs of irrational nazis – Avoid buying any on Amazon near the end of each quarter - Dogs

Jesus, they even want to do away with books now. I'm not an old fart, and I work with technology, but taking the tactile experience of reading away and staring at an LED screen is a shame. The texture of the pages, etc. is an experience. Pretty soon they'll want us to use a digital device just to take a piss.

I can just see these morons saying that one day there will be a kindle in every classroom in america, and how it's cheaper than keeping books in the library and having to pay a librarian.

the video is helpful and realistic about the Kindle..I have one and have been very satisfied compared to the other electronic book I tried..just read "Justifiable Homicide" by Aughinbaugh on Kindle ...a good read about a heavy subject..plenty of satire and self revelation

think about this: Self publishing PDFs for authors.

no longer will some salesman at a big publisher squash a great book for fear that the P&L is too risky. No more of the tyrany of the buyers at Boarders and B&N deciding what the rest of us should be reading. This format if it takes off could be a real blessing for authors... if they can just find a way to get paid for their work.

still... i'll sorely miss those few independent book stores that are left

I love the concept, it truly is incredible. But I feel there is no natural place to rest my hands or hold the device without accidentally pressing a button (especially the next and previous page).

Also a cheaper model without the wireless should be made available, a lot of international costumers without the EVDO availability could make use of the product to the full potential of what they purchase.

I'm less and less impressed with Guy Kawasaki.

PDFs?

[JHVH1]

You can e-mail pdfs to amazon and either have them e-mailed back in kindle format or sent directly to the kindle for 10 cents. It does a pretty decent job converting them based on what I tried. The images even showed up.
