One of the better features of Kindle is the fact that it does not use backlighting. E-ink is much easier to read and uses much less battery power.

wait til Apple masters this idea before spending near 400 dollars on something that doesnt even offer the option of backlighting. what were they thinking. the only reason the kindle is make news, is because it is the only thing of its kind. in 2 years that thing will be a fossil

I saw a guy just like this doing a live presentation for a similar microsoft product at the ABA (book expo) convention in Chicago around year 2000, but then I never heard about the microsoft reader again afterwards.

Whatever suits you. But the controls of the Kindle is simply nonsense. Nonsense. =)

true but how many drunken whores go out and read. This is doing what it is supposed to do hit the target area. I'm not saying people who drink or has ladies don't read books but there not going to be the biggest buyers and who are that's who you advertise to!

Yeah but Kindle is taking it to higher better level

You can't buy books on the iPhone or iTouch plus I have an iTouch and it sucks always trying to find Wi-fi. This is 100 times better for books, magazines and newspapers. Now I'm not saying get a kindle over an iPhone basically Kindle is more book specific and is the master of that where iPhone does multi stuff like it's the jack of all trades but master of none.

Can't the same thing be easily done on the iPhone or even the iTouch? I'm sure the B&N and Borders peepz are developing for those devices instead.

Hmmm seems like nearly 2000 Kindle users give it either 4 or 5 stars on Amazon's website.Even the people who don't like it don't complain about the display.The Sony reader uses the same display and no-one whinges about that either.I think I'll go with the opinions of those who actually own one - but hey that's just my choice.
