I love books! I’m sorry this might sound stupid, but i actually like getting to hold my book in my hands, having that hard back copy with the cool pictures on the front, and actually flipping the pages. Having that book on the shelf to show it off, and say yeah i read that. There is just something about a book you can’t get with these things.
the kindle is for people who don’t know what an app is, also just because people like functionality, doesn’t mean their trying to be cool
you have to pay for them, they’re like 5.99-20.99 depends on which book you download, they are not free
can anybody plz tell me if you have to pay for the books or just download?
not only are newer books like 10$.. but the older books where the copyright has expired the booksare practicaly free…because they don’t even need to pay for the paper. a package of 51 dickens books costs 99 cents. haha
the books are CHEAP! $10 for a book compared to buying them for $20+ in stores….plus your saving paper and space on a shelf! I think KINDLE 2 is a great idea and a great product. iPhone is for the highschool kid who thinks he is cool new age….iPhone sux….G1 is better.
thats the magic word…people dont know any better…amazon is laughing all the way to the bank.
DJTEVAdotCOM, I agree with you, this Kindle thing is laughable.
There are other small and large portable computers that do that and much much more, and in color. The kindle looks like something from the 1990s, the black and white screen and it only has 1 function. My Dell Axim has a ton more storage, access to internet, and I can read books on as much storage as I put on my SD or CompactFlash card. Heck the iphone does this and more as well. Why would anyone pay almost $400 for such a basic device as the Kindle???? Unless they don’t know any better.
thats because theyll charge you a fortune for downloading each book duh…seems pretty pointless imo
The iphone has NONE of these features.
The Kindle screen is not a crap backlit LCD that will blind you after 30 min. Its digital ink that appears exactly like paper, and is just as easy to read in any light. Leaving it on a page uses no battery power. You can leave it on forever. Only turning pages uses the battery.
Kindle also has FREE wireless internet built in – no wifi, connecting, passwords, etc. No 3G garbage. You can download from amazon any time, no internet charge ever.
The iphone has all these features…..why does anyone wanna spend the hefty $360 for extra baggage when this can all be accomplish on an iphone?….Amazon is just trying to make more money.
But you are describing Kindle 1, not the new Kindle 2!
