Amazing? It only reads text or HTML files. That's pathetic, not amazing.

I HATE the Kindle, because it locks up it's content in its proprietary format. With the selection they have on e-book, if they'd open up the format to other readers, which can be read on smart phones and palms, they'd sell more books. But of course, they'd rather sell their damn hardware. Bastards.

The idea of buying either the Sony reader or the Kindle and then having to clip-on an LED booklight to read it makes my circuits fry...

She seen a book on a TV talk show the other day and 60 seconds later she was reading it on her Kindle. She has saved nearly the $400 on books which cost $29-$39 for hard copy but sell for $4.99-$9.99 from the Kindle store. And yes she is able to get any book listed on the best sellers lists. I bought it two days after seeing it on Gizmodo and must say it's the best gift I've bought in years!

I can't say I'm impressed at all by what I've seen of Kindle so far, though I have yet to check one out in person.

I guess that's what makes Gizmodo different from Engadget.

Anyway, I want a Kindle, but not at $400.

As an Amish person (Mennonite, actually), I appreciate the comment. The Kindle looks too damn old fashioned, even for us! Although I'd take a piece of that cake.

How dare you suggest that people actually try something before offering a definative opinion! That's what the Internets are for. What are you, some sort of book reading, screen size queen, anarchist?

... The Kindle!, you're friggin' kidding me?!?! Have any of you actually held or used one? It's a horrible piece of c!@# and a disaster of form and function. Hold one and you'll know what all the Applehype is ALL about!
I'm sure the flyover states think it's a marvel of engineering. Keep it far from our beaches!
