Okay Mr Kindle Promoter, if you can stop the spamming for a minute, I'll tell you what I think of the Kindle - it's an overpriced piece of shit. Looks ugly, uses technology that's about as old as it looks, and Amazon has the guts to charge people who reading RSS feeds with it! I really hope it will be one huge budget hole for Amazon, because it deserves to be!
It's not the kind of "wow" machine the Wii or the iPhone are, things that make you feel as if you were in the future. There'll be more ebook readers, and I'm sorry to say it, but the Kindle won't be the one people will remember.
