Introducing Amazon Kindle

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FI73MA/?tag=amzkindle-20
Amazon Kindle is a revolutionary portable reader that wirelessly downloads books, newspapers, magazines and blogs to a crisp, high-resolution electronic paper display that looks and reads like real paper, even in bright sunlight.

Kindle customers, no matter where they are in the U.S., can wirelessly shop the Kindle Store and download new content — all without a PC or a WiFi hot spot. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so there are no monthly wireless bills and no service commitments for customers. The Kindle Store contains over 90,000 books that can be purchased and delivered wirelessly to Kindle, each in less than a minute. Customers can choose from hundreds of top newspapers, magazines and blogs and have their subscriptions auto-delivered wirelessly. All New York Times Best Sellers and New Releases are $9.99, unless marked otherwise.

At 10.3 ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than a paperback book, carries two hundred books, and includes built-in access to The New Oxford American Dictionary and wireless access to the Earth's biggest encyclopedia, Wikipedia.org.

I just wonder how a thin device (kindle 2) would feel like whilst reading. I just like the thickness of books...

I'm just a sucker for nostalga :-)

Well that's...kinda how technology usually works. Improving on things we've had to make it more efficient. As it stated it contains a library of over 80,000 books, which can be useful when trying to find a rare book, plus efficient because who wants to carry a ton of books around in the first place?

[ArosIrwin]

thats great. Perfect slogan too. "Its as easy to hold and carry as your favorite book." So why not just carry your favorite book and be done with it!

to be fair the digital ink is quite impressive but I can't help technology is evolveing to give us things we had anyway.

Lower the price and change the design and I'd totally buy one of these!
