That really sucks. You will pay Amazon for everything that you will read.<BR/><BR/>But here's the cool thing. If you were the US, you will wake up in the morning to have all your morning news delivered to your device. You subscribe once and it's downloaded without bothering you at all. Pretty cool feature if you ask meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9676534.post-15526282799442290352007-11-21T11:55:00.000+02:002007-11-21T11:55:00.000+02:00Thanks for the comments!Actually, I am aware of th...Thanks for the comments!<BR/><BR/>Actually, I am aware of the Sony device and others. I am saying that this is the 'first credible' unit, as reviews for the Sony suggest its screen glimmers too much unlike a book page :)<BR/><BR/>This one sounds better, of course I haven't seen it.... but I'll get my hands on one very soon!Zeid Nasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619050379221753185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9676534.post-59072847228779917842007-11-21T05:00:00.000+02:002007-11-21T05:00:00.000+02:00Best looking device!? Have you seen the Sony reade...Best looking device!? Have you seen the Sony reader which has been out for .. oh a year and now they're launching v2!?<BR/>Check the comparison <A HREF="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/poll/amazon-kindle-vs-sony-reader-bitchfight-324481.php" REL="nofollow">here</A> I think you will change your mind once you see the contender!<BR/>I think both employ the same e-ink technology which makes them easy on the eye. But until the day when a Ebook can be as cheap as the paper pack which you can throw in your backpack and throw the 2nd floor window without getting it damaged. AND now slip from your sweaty hands as you read from in on the go. I say, ebooks are cute toys at the moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9676534.post-69848439998876954042007-11-21T04:58:00.000+02:002007-11-21T04:58:00.000+02:00For some things this may replace the paper version...For some things this may replace the paper version but not for everything. I still really like a paper book, a paper magazine, etc. I read plenty of similar things already as PDF on my MacBook, but it's different. I've obviously not tried the Kindle, but I doubt it would replace paper stuff for me. I get what you're saying about mp3 player and digital camera but those are different. They replaced already electronic devices, camera used film, and instead of mp3s we had cassettes and cds. At least they replaced devices, but this adds a device.Magnus Nystedthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222595760816223447noreply@blogger.com
