The Amazon Kindle

This looks really amazing.

I thought of it initially for my mom, who has a hard time reading these days, because you can adjust the font size. The more I look at it though, I realize that I want one too. Very cool. Seems great for newspapers, since I tend to view them online these days anyways. The reviews are great.

I wonder if I would miss paper though. Thoughts?

Comment by Mary on August 31, 2008 at 10:28pm: ummm, well, maybe not so soon: Amazon puts the kibosh on Kindle 2.0 rumors

Sorry, bro.

Comment by illegible on August 26, 2008 at 4:15am: a new kindle? About time 2.0 came out.

Comment by Eugene on July 8, 2008 at 10:44am: i like how it saves paper.

Comment by sAm on July 7, 2008 at 6:13pm: hmmm, I bet it would take some getting used to. There's nothing like paper when it comes to reading, but it seems like this would be so practical. All I know is that Alice has wanted one of these since before they came out. Maybe for her birthday? shhhhh....
