I imagine most of you will say why pay $400 for a book reading device and why buy e-books for $10 when you can get them free at the library.
However, does anyone have thoughts on the new Amazon Kindle that was released today?
I saw Jeff Bezos on last night's Charlie Rose Show and he was whipping up a lot of enthusiasm. He also mentioned that Amazon is working to develop a sub-orbital rocket ride product as well.
$400 seems too high, but saving $10 or so on new release books would tend to work itself off. I have been buying quite a few books from amazon lately.
I would get them from the library, but I do not think I could read them fast enough to give back on time - that and I am generally disorganized and apathetic.
The Kindle reminds me of watching Jean Luc Picard walking around the enterprise reviewing the daily reports on his little flat screen. Kirk had the communicator - now we have the Razor. Picard had the little book - now we can have the Kindle.
Live long and prosper ...
