The only question is, why would anyone want an electronic book. The reason iPod has been a sensation is that it made the music listening experience fundamentally better, not just fundamentally different. The best portable device for a book is the paperback. Honestly, it is. It's completely portable. You can take it to the beach. You can take it to the pool. You can pack in in your backpack. You can even sit in the bath with it. It never needs to recharge. And when your finished, you just toss it. To me, Kindle is all about "vanity"... Bezos' vanity. He wants to have a "cool" product like Jobs. And since he sells a lot of books, he wants to have the "iPod of books". The only problem is, written content is not any better experience-wise by having it distributed through an electronic device. In fact, in many many ways, it's much worse. And $400... give me a break!"</p></div> Tue, 20 Nov 2007 02:14:12 -0500 caian http://www.productwiki.com/caian/#item-27844 http://www.productwiki.com/caian/#item-164545 <div><p><em>November 20, 2007 at 2:09 am</em></p></div> Tue, 20 Nov 2007 02:09:48 -0500 caian http://www.productwiki.com/caian/#item-164545
