And still I see 0 point in owning a Kindle.
I used to read books onmy Palm TX. It was great. Always had abook at hand. Ended up with like 600.
And still I see 0 point in owning a Kindle.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Agreed.
For the CONSUMER, they make little sense. That $300 could be better spent on a netbook (same size as a Kindle) that can be used for multiple purposes (including reading electronic books.)
For AMAZON, they make a lot of sense. You are locked into purchsing titles from them, and they can control the content on the device.
Kindle is worse than the ipod....
You can’t do the following:
1) Lend the book to anybody.
2) Sell your digital copy to anybody like you could a regular book.
3.....and now, you don’t even own it really.
I will never buy a Kindle.
At least the ipod’s hiccups are mostly easily fixed if you want to copy the music off onto your computer etc.
geeze absolutly not now.
The remote screwing with your library should not be allows period.
Amazon could literally erase ALL books. (on your and everyone’s kindle)
That what I've been thinking as well. I have no laptop but I do need something to use for reading PDF files and such. It could be that the Kindle could do that. But I also like to watch video tutorials and it is tiresome sitting in front of a computer to do so. I'm pretty sure that a Kindle won't do that. Plus it's still black and white. How early 80's is that?
So I'm looking at the new 12.1" Netbooks and the 14" Laptops. I want (relatively) cheap, light and good battery life. Recommendations welcome.
