Kindle 2.0: Finally an iPod for Books?

SORRY......BUT......I never see the O's embracing or helping out a poor white child .....interesting to say the least.....I knew favoritism may be the ultimate result....but let us not forget the many children of all colors that need food, shelter, and better schools. I was very surprised/shocked that I would need to come out about this issue so soon.....an accusation?....U-BETCHA ;-(

Kindle? Ya! I'll buy Kindle so I can read all about the scams being run by our government under Obama. If you all think we'll have any money left after Obama, Pelosi and Frank are done with us, I think you'd rethink Kindle.

Unless I can get enough of a discount to pay back the cost of the device over a couple yrs, it will never be worth it.

I'm not going to buy one.

I kant reed no how.

Can it download free porn movies?

Will it work with Books on how to cheat at Black Jack?

I am not blind but I am visually impaired to the extent that I haven't been able to read a book or any of my favorite magazines for over two years. As a result, I have been limited to listening to audio books, and I really missed being able to sit down and actually READ a book. For some reason I don't fully understand, I have no trouble reading my Kindle and I don't even have to use the largest type - the second largest works fine. I just bought my Kindle in December and am already on my fifth Kindle book and I am really loving it. AND Time magazine is delivered automatically to my Kindle every Monday morning. Kindle has been a God-send for me. Thank you Jeff and Amazon for making this possible.

I'd need to get a really big pocket for that. Is that a Kindle in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

All about da porn....when I can see skin, consider me SOLD !

Why finally. That staff is around for years. Did somebody paid for advertisement?

I have seen people reading the Kindle. I would like one because of the search feature, ability to reread a passage, increase text size and portability... but honestly I can't afford one. So I will keep getting books on CD's and loading them into my ipod and listening to them that way. The best part is they are free at the library and you can listen while cooking, cleaning, sewing, driving and gardening. The only bummer is the length of time it takes to get a new book and seeing that exasperated look on your husband's face when he asks you a question while you're listening and you didn't hear him.

The best thing abou the Kindle 2.0, will be that you will be able to get 1.0 cheaper on ebay. Most Kindles were sold after Oprah promo'd it in October. So they are almost new. The major complaint about Kindles is the expense, now the 1.0 will be cheaper! The new features don't impress me. Yes the old side buttons are a little big, but you get used to it. Other than that - faster page turns? Don't care? Higher res? I read books in print, don't care. Thinner? Just means more fragile to me, don't care. Audio feature? I'd rather have my fingernails pulled out than listen to a computer monotone voice read to me, don't care.

Well you can't buy Kindles in Australia and having a Sprint upload is no good here anyway - so why not take the iPhone / iPod Touch route.. With Stanza (free iPhone App) - you have access to heaps of free and purchase books and it works worldwide. Back light is there - night reading switching to white type on black is there or any colour combination you want. Read in bed with NO LIGHT!! Change font, font size, justification, space between lines, Search text, bookmark where-ever you want. Download over Wifi or phone data if you have a reasonable size plan. You can even create your own books to read using a Desktop companion software... The iPhone is always with you, small in your hand, and if you are waiting in queue it is a lovely device to read another chapter on. No additional cost above that of the phone and buying recent books. Gutenberg project has a wonderful collection of free older books.. If Amazon doesn't get its Kindle working in worldwide mode - I think it will be a short lived fad. The iPhone solution is working well and working now worldwide and very reasonable cost...

Another scandal hist the wires - Greenwood and Walsh from WG partners duping guess who ? Carnegie Mellon Univ.. hahaha even the colleges are not safe from Wall Street's scourge... Dow 4500 looks like a definite yes yes now...

Who reads, this the most overhyped product since the segway, At the price it sells for, it sales will be limited to a few nerds or a niche market.

Typical reviewer ... "no real hardware diferences , but it receives wirelessly and downloads. , blahh ,blah." What does he think makes those things happen besides harware and firmware design?

The Kindle is awesome, it is a total game changer. I've had mine for a year now and I LOVE it. It holds HUNDREDS of books. Imagine... 10 ounces, and I'm carrying a whole library! Amazon will OWN the book resale market within 2 years. Just like Apple and the iPod.

Another thing the iPhone does is holds hundreds of thick books.. With 16 GB of memory it holds more than you can read is a life time!! What country does the Kindle sell to apart from the US??
