You’re a jerk. Try reading a book with your iPhone. Oh wait, you probably don’t read.

[...] about reading blogs on one. First off, any link in a blog post takes you to the awful, maddening “experimental” web browser. And subscribing to a blog costs $0.99 or $1.99 a month, despite those same blogs’ [...]

Web browsing on a connected device? Absolutely reasonable. If I buy a gadget with a nicely-sized screen, UI, and wireless, of COURSE I’m going to want to use it as a computer. Like my iPhone or my Mac laptop, it’s a general purpose tool under the hood (or should be). Don’t excuse it.

Holy crap, comparing an iPhone to a Kindle?

So all i wanted to know is whether or not the Kindle could access the net. And it appears it can.

But comparing it to an iPhone? What an applefan…

How idiotic. I have a Kindle, I bought it to READ BOOKS! They don’t advertise the browsing ability as a key selling point but I have found it to be very useful. I can do a quick email check, check the weather, catch a few newsfeed headlines and most importantly access several free e-book websites to download free e-books on the fly. If you complain about the quality of the web browsing, mp3 playing or photo resolution you bought the wrong device dodo! If you want something that lets you get free or paid-for e-books, magazines or newspapers wireless (which they don’t even charge you for) then the Kindle works as advertised. And if the navigation seems complicated to you try reading the manual, it may not be intuitive but it’s certainly not complicated. Now put away that stupid iPhone and read a book, your brain obviously needs some exercise!

I just want to jump in and say that Michael Arrington sounds like a real idiot trying to use the touch screen on a device which doesn’t have one.

LOL.

Ever read instructions? Slapping at the screen when it isn’t touch sensitive? Reviewing something in a bar? Bitching about the browser when it’s meant for reading digital books?

You don’t come across as an exceptionally bright person after a piece like this.

#37 is dead right – ebook readers will never take off because they are worse than the technology they are attempting to replace. I remember reading somewhere that the definition of a paper page is thousands of times better than any screen. That’s why your eyes never hurt after reading a book for hours.

I have to agree with comment #42 Arrington. You are killing your brand by publishing videos that look like this. How can anyone take it seriously?

Also…it takes a tremendously long time for me to pull up a webpage when mobile safari locks up my iphone, and I have to reset it before I can access it again.

Arrington, no wonder so many people treat you like a pariah, and call you out. You act like a douche.

This comparison is just totally silly. Only thing that the Kindle should be compared against is other book-reading devices.
