Kindle Your Fire?
Since I have thrown myself into the merciless world of book publishing, I am intrigued by the Amazon Kindle.What’s a Kindle, you ask? Well, it’s interesting that this thing hasn’t gotten nearly the publicity of the Apple iPhone when it debuted. A Kindle is a wireless electronic bookreader that lets you tap into Amazon’s library and read a book on a digital screen.
Ahh, haven’t we seen this before? Yeah, I really do think so … like years and years ago. The wireless component, however, sounds cool. And the link to Amazon’s library is attractive.
But what’s not attractive is the design. Holey moley, it’s a super-ugly, clunky looking thing. And it’s the size of a paperback book …. so what’s the benefit of lugging one of these around. Even I – owner of some of the biggest purses in creation – don’t have the storage space for this.
I’ll just stick with my neato iPhone and wait for something better in the electronic bookreading category. If you want an expert’s opinion, read this review from CNET.
