    Paugh. This is not an eReader angle that you should waste time watching, I think.

    Yes, by the time they have it in stock in January, it'll be just enough time for people to recieve their orders and then cry when Apple announces their Tablet with color display and color books, magazines, and comic books.

    @Noobs-R-Us: no one wants to read books on their over priced tablet. reading on a screen that's not like the nook or kindle for extended periods of time = absolute suck.

    @presto117: "no one wants to read books on their over priced tablet"

    Famous last words... why don't you come back here and try saying the same thing with a straight face this time next year when millions of people would have bought the new Tablet. You'd be laughed right out of Gizmodo.

    You sure do show a real lack of foresight.

    Good news. They need some sort of folder system - even just grouping by author would be a big improvement.

    @weatherman: Just checked my preorder. Still set for shipment on December 18. Doesn't look like any of the prior preorders were affected. It's all prospective.

    So it's, in essence, a non-touchscreen PADD? Seems like Star Wars and Star Trek tech is imminent.

    A neat idea, but looks incredibly awkward to use. Make it so the large bulk on left is some sort of portable recharging station with extra storage and we'll talk.

    @Sticks Calhoun: ... what?

    The electronics are all in the "large bulk on the left," so that's where the battery, ports and storage already are. The screeen pulls out to be a very thin page. #wistronreadiuspolymervision

    @Kevin Harrison: Right, and then I'm stuck reading a piece of paper that weighs a pound on one end. What's the point? With such an imbalance it would be incredibly annoying to hold. #wistronreadiuspolymervision

    I really like the ability to read the books on other devices, like my phone or computer, and be able to sync all my bookmarks, notes and such. That's really very useful. But I think if they're going to push this feature, they need to up the license limitation. Six licenses isn't enough if I burn two or three of them on my first reading. Currently they will let you free up licenses by calling CS if you no longer have devices you registered. That seems a bit problematic. CS contacts are expensive. Are they going to want to keep doing that when large numbers of customers realize they hit their limit and can't re-read a book on their new device? If people are going to lose access to their old books when they upgrade devices, that will keep them from buying new Kindles. They either need to come up with an easier way for people to remove licenses from devices, up the limit to something more reasonable, or get rid of the limits altogether but make the license follow the account.

    This will probably do more for Amazon's attempts to break in to the textbook market than their Kindle DX did. #kindleforpcbetadownload
