    It needs to be a "free with X eBooks" sort of deal. Consider that the time horizon that people use to think about book purchases is only a couple of days, and that people associate books with small per unit costs.

    This is really close... I would probably pick this up except that I am eagerly awaiting the new ASUS 2 screen reader that is rumored to be inexpensive.

    Plus amazon is evil for remote deletion and charging a FEE to change your text into a format that can be read by the kindle.

    @wendigee: let it go already - Bezos admitted his mistake and bent over backwards to make things right for something that arguably wasn't really their fault. And they don't charge a fee to make text readable by the Kindle, they charge a fee only for the wireless delivery of your own materials. You can convert them for free and sideload them.

    I'd love an ebook reader, but they're just too expensive to justify. I'd love a cheaper price point, about $150 sounds about right.

    Looks promising, other than the fact that whomever is shooting the video needs to hold still. I look forward to seeing what this does for battery life.

    So is this being developed by Acer or is it just being presented on an Acer? Looks pretty nice and will probably significantly increase battery life.

    People say they want color, but do they really? What percentage of reading from books, newspapers and light web browsing would be improved by a color screen? Almost none. Improve the bw screen first please.

    @jetRink: "What percentage ... would be improved by a color screen?"


    Are you serious? Other than novels and maybe biographies, pick up just about any book. Color is now the norm. (And don't even get me started about magazines.) From DIY household guides to computer/software training (even Pogue's Missing Manual series, long a black-and-white holdout, is largely converting to full-color) to cooking and crafts and parenting and nature and...etc., EVERYTHING is full-color. And not just to be pretty, color helps communicate.


    @jetRink: "Improve the bw screen first please."


    What I said above notwithstanding, YES, I agree with you on this point, absolutely. For example, making the e-paper background WHITE, not grey, would be a vast improvement.

    In reply to A Larger, Touchscreen Kindle 3 Coming This Year?
    Seriously, I'll consider buying the Kindle when then the price is at least $99.99. As much as I like the idea of holding it with one hand (lol), the Kindle's single feature of displaying books doesn't justify its price.


    Plus, is the 3G access really necessary? Take that out and reduce the price of the Kindle. No one needs to download a book all the time. They'll already be preoccupied with the book they already bought.


    Secondly, the pricing of the e-books is not right. Why buy an e-book when a physical copy of the book costs much less? Make books at least $1-5 price range.


    Thirdly, when are you going to bring this to Canada? Canada is always an unappreciated market that has yet to be tapped. I don't see any reason not to bring this to Canada.

    @KJA: If it cost $50, and the books were, say $2.50 each, I'd totally buy it and lots of books. As it is? Its waaaay out of my price range. Its not even in my wistful thinking pricerange.

    Textbooks are the killer app of the ebook world, and Amazon is the only company in a position to actually take advantage of it. I'm not sure I believe this rumor, but if it's not true Amazon is missing a huge opportunity.

    @weatherman: As a student who paid through the nose for textbooks, hell to the yes. If Amazon was able to get some sort of deal with publishers, I'd be happier than a pig in several kinds of crap if it meant that I didn't have to deal with bulky books that cost as much collectively as a new computer, with only a few chapters out of each that I'd even have to read.
