| Amazon's New Kindle | Login/Join |
Amazon.com has a new gadget, called Kindle, out for the bibliophile, an electronic, wireless device that you can order books for $9.99 and have them downloaded to the device in less than a minute no matter where you are. What effect will this have on the Borders and Barnes and Nobles? Newspapers and magazines can also be downloaded. For a cool $359.00 you, too, can have one. Check it out on Amzon.com/KindleThis message has been edited. Last edited by: biplane1, | |||

Some things are inherently wrong, bordering on evil. Even Captain Kirk preferred holding a real book over an electronic book. Kindle is even more sterile than going into a Borders or Barnes and Noble...if that is possible. John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

I know - I made reference to The Damned Thing recently somewhere amongst this forum. Dreadful little machine, no? Ambrose Bierce is a good word. "Live Forever!" | ||||

I don't know i I would go so far as to say a Kindle is evil. But a piece of technology which is inferior to the technology it seeks to replace in almost every respect seems somewhat doomed to failure. And for the price, you could buy a cheap laptop, which would enable to read all the e-books you want AS WELL AS surf the web, play games and write your own book! - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||
