Display Technology

I hate reading off computer screens! That being said, the Kindle is not a computer screen, it's a book! The white-paper technology works extremely well; it's just like reading printed paper. The cellular technology was a master stroke - no need to find a hot spot (and it's free). You can surf the web if you want and it's still free.

In short, I own the Kindle... Now, I own the Kindle 2. In my opinion, the first Kindle is next to perfect, Kindle 2 is perfect.

By the way, did I tell you about how much my reading speed has increased?

Well how about less expensive, yes color, able to read any format like txt, Word, PDF etc., cruise the Net - oh, wait, thats the netbook I already own! Never mind.

Sounds like you're more interested in reading your own stuff. It does PDF, and if you send them a Word doc, they'll convert for you. And, yes. You can browse the web on it, and do email if you want.

With the addition of color and images the only thing missing is the ability to set it to read in the dark without the use of additional light, you know, so your spouse can sleep while you read in bed . . .
