Hate it already. Why so strong? No cell coverage at my house. It is virtually useless without internet connectivity.

Your review leads me to the conclusion that you either aren’t a heavy reader or don’t travel much. As someone who is both a heavy reader and who travels frequently I’ll point out what you missed. Both the Kindle and the Sony devices offer extreme portability AND “easy on the eyes” contrast similar to that of newsprint. Anyone who has tried to read a book on an lcd screen or on a tiny smart phone will instantly understand. Finally, these devices don’t have to be charged every hour because of the fact that they really only use power when you turn the page. So… you’re right… it doesn’t make coffee or even Julian fries. Amazon hasn’t created a time machine or solved world hunger. But they, Sony and the company that produces the e-ink display have created a better way to read a book and that’s worth something for those of us who do alot of that. Thanks for the forum…

Great review. I agree 100%. Look at the iphone. It revolutionized the way people look at cell phones. Does the kindle do this? not a chance. I would rather hold a paperback, unless I was reading several hundred at once, then the Kindle would seem like a good idea.

Perhaps you might start by taking a breath and then trying to engage your brain -
most laughable comment – “Does it read books in your own voice? No” You might fill us in on the other devices that can actually read anything in the owners voice. It is a book reader so “Can you do anything apart from reading books” what, should it wash your laundry? Thanks again for adding more useless dribble to our world.
