Ebook news!
Amazon announces the new Kindle DX large screen, especially suited for e-textbooks and the like. I'll stick with my Kindle, but if I were still in college, you betcha.
In other interesting e-reader news, Apple and Verizon are developing something that could be touted as Apple's "ebook reader". (And they also may have an iPhone deal sooner than we thought.) However, I am unimpressed. No e-ink screen? Sorry, I'll stick with my Kindle, thanks. As for watching video, isn't that what an iPod Touch is for?
I love all the people who download books to their iphones. I'm sorry if some of you do that and this offends you, but I laugh. Seriously. Clearly, these people have never tried an electronic ink screen for any definitive length of time. I can read more and for longer on my Kindle than I can real books. An iphone? That small LCD screen? My poor eyes are strained enough on the computer all day at work.
I love my iPod and my Macbook to pieces. But as far as I'm concerned, Kindle still has the market cornered on ebook readers, with their screen, and the free wireless downloading of books anytime, anywhere.
