I believe the kindle will be great as long as it is hackable and that seems like it isn;t already a problem

Google’s Mobile Reader works fine on the Kindle. However, it’s much more efficient if you’re picking a specific subscription to read — otherwise the back and scroll and click gets annoying pretty fast.

It gave me what I was looking for, which was auto-synchronization between the Kindle and my PC reader.

Great article! And thxn for the RSS feed hack. I actually use an online tool called Feedity ( http://www.feedity.com ) to create custom RSS feeds, and these as well can be read on the kindle. Chao

I love to read and I know that this device has gotten knocked a little, but I think it’s one of the best options out so far.

quote:
I asked “Who was the first person to ever write about the Kindle?” And I git a response in a few minutes pointing me to an “early” September 11, 2007 post on Engadget.

Wow. Erick, you read that so wrong.. I actually was the person at mechanical turk answering your question. Did you actually check the date? That was september 11, 2006 ! Not 2007, but an entire year earlier.
Even the link says september 11, 2006. So, that actually WAS the first mentioning of the Kindle.

Amazon is *absolutely* not paying anywhere *near* $10/mo per device - not how bulk bandwidth works.

Its probably paying the same way an ISP or large website does - by 95% percentile Mbps monthly usage. With the inability to download or stream anything but 1Mb books (book purchases cover their own BW costs), the bandwidth costs are likely trivial and covered by purchases just fine.

Mobile bandwidth is kinda flip-flopped from land bandwidth - with land bandwidth, you are paying for usage (or in the consumer case, you are paying for everyones aggregate usage) - with mobile broadband, you are paying more for the fact that there is very little usage overall and helping the telco cover the infrastructure investment for now.

If Amazon’s reader comes at $400 you can bet that if Apple made one, they’d price it at $1,000 at least. And fanboys would still buy it.

E Ink on my Motorola F3 works very well and I think it’s perfect for this kind of device.

I’d like to read more about its search function, bookmarking and all the tools for aspiring e-librarians.

The dawn of the ebooks is upon us.

Let’s make the last analog product digital.

I am personally looking for a new generation of Newton from Apple that is based on the iPhones.
