I recently borrowed a Kindle from a library to take on a cruise and I loved it. I couldn’t carry enough books to last me 3 weeks. I think the kindle is for people who love to read and actually do read a lot. For others, the internet is enough.

The thing is that the Kindle DX is not necessarily better than the Kindle 2. I still believe that the kindle 2 is much better for reading in general while the DX is for newspaper/textbook reading

kdog, they will ship in the summer but they didn’t specify when during the summer – so I guess anytime between 6/21/09 and 9/21/09.

Yes, you are missing the point of the device completely. This isnt a laptop replacement, its a e-book reader. The SCREEN is what makes this worthwhile. I own a Kindle 2, and its the very first screen that I feel comfortable reading for extended periods of time.

After a couple weeks, you forget about the technology and simply enjoy the books you are reading! This can not be overstated: The technology “gets out of the way” of the reading experience!

In the two months I have owned the device, I have read over 20 books (with 3 or 4 on the device waiting for me). This is compared to a total of 3 books read this year before I got the Kindle.

Was it worth $400? (plus $5-$10 per book) For me, ABSOLUTELY! For you? Maybe, maybe not. How much do you enjoy reading? I would STRONGLY recommend either the Kindle 2 or the DX to people who love to read. If you are just a tech enthusiast, looking for the latest gadget, move on, buy an iPhone or something.

let me see, I can, and have, dropped my text book from 2m up onto concrete and still been able to read it. I can read my paper text book twenty years after buying it. I can read my paper text book in any country of the world.

Seems that the US-only, DRM-restricted, fragile electric book replacements have a bit of evolution still to go.

The price of each textbook is a key factor. This will look very atractive to law and medical students if the intial cost can be re-cooped in 1 year. Books are heavy. I also think that students will just get better at digitizing books into pdfs and posting them in forums.

The Kindle has more value to me. I spend hundreds of dollars a year on books, and they all seem to be cheaper on the Kindle than in physical print. Give me two or three years and I’ll have saved more than the $359 the Kindle cost, easy.
