From electro^plankton:
 Sooner or later we all knew it was coming. Books in digital format you can access from a portable e-ink device. The world's entire library in our hands. That's what Amazon's new ebook reader promises to be - called Kindle. I'm a little bit excited since I've been praying for this day. Digital books are a little bit cheaper and access to an ever growing library is definitely tantalizing. The always on free wireless connection is also a huge plus. That means I can browse and buy a book anywhere there's a cellular signal and the ability for amateur writers to sell their goods in the store is pretty sweet. My only issue is the initial investment. $399 is a lot of money. I think Amazon should have went for a $199 target. In any case, I'm sure it'll be successful enough to warrant further development. Will Amazon do for books what Apple did for digital music? Hit the jump to see what all the Kindle can do and how much it'll really cost ya.
