   Its thin, its wireless, its expensive is he he should have said.

   Looks nice but I don’t know if I want to spend £400 on one of these.

   I like the large screen, but 230 more for it? Too much.

   i definitely prefer something i could squeeze into my pockets. just looks big and clunky even though it’s very slim.

   it needs a touch screen as well + a built in light for poor lighting situations so you can still use it.

   why would apple come up with something? apple is just as “walled” as any other company.

    Screen size is much better but it needs to be a colour screen to be successful.

    Dont give in to Amazon trying to lock you into their walled-garden. I say we wait for what Apple or Plastic Logic will come up with.

    You’re right – thanks for the correction.

    that’s a really good point that I hadn’t thought of. Of course if the textbook sale price is considerably lower than the normal textbook then that’s not too bad.

    Hey, this isn’t correct. If you click on the # next to the section in the Table of Contents on any periodical, it gives you a list of articles in that section.

    Cheers,

    C.K.

    The problem with Textbooks is that they need to enable students to resell them somehow at the end of the semester (or make them cheaper such that Cost of e-Textbook = New Book – Resale Price + Perceived Value of Keeping the Content Forever)

    The principle problem with reading newspapers on the Kindle is that they only have a table of contents at the section level (not down to the article level). This means you have to click through every friggin article to find out what’s going on. PLEASE AMAZON and CONTENT PROVIDERS, create a table of contents for articles. It’s completely unusable for newspaper reading without it.

    That’s a good question. It should work the same as the Kindle 2 with normal text, but I don’t know if it will work with the PDFs that this reader supports.

    I officially need a Kindle.

    Very interesting. I have AMD and am hoping that this device will be able to show text sufficiently large for me to read.
    Any reason why it shouldn’t be able to speak the words?

    if i were a student again, the idea of carrying all my textbooks around in one 18.9 oz. device would have been really appealing — but i wouldn’t have been able to afford it back then. And now that I have enough liquid income to make it more viable, i’m not at a point in my life where i really need it anymore.

    Really curious how well this thing will sell…
