    In most manga usually the cover is color and the rest in black and white, comics are a different story though.

    Does it work with school textbooks? Like I mean can you buy books at Kindle store like Algebra 1 and 2 or Biology

    Manga been displayed in black and white don’t seem quite so appealing IMO.

    It sure looks a lot better styled than the old ‘Soviet era’ design Kindle. Much thinner, gone are those badly placed page turning paddles.

    Will be great for college students, saves them having to carry a load of bulky course textbooks around with them.

    This is a very important point. I really like all the technology behind the Kindle, but I find it peculiar that a company could have full access to the contents of one’s readings and comments on the readings.

    Yeah, but that bulky bookshelf is impressive and doubles as decoration.

    I wonder if users will be able to put images on the kindle 2, thus being able to read manga and what not, that’s the biggest advantage I see in owning a sony reader.

    There is an element of Big Brother and some privacy issues here. They know everything you read and if you make notes or highlight passages they store it on their servers.

    My brother’s marketing graduate class did a project on the Kindle. He said another way to boost sales of the Kindle is to sell college text books at a discounted price.

    much better looking than it’s older brother.
    should have done that from 1.0, after all there was ipod to emulate instead of a brick.

    same here, but just imagine how many trees you can save by not having to print all those books on paper.

    It’s cool and all but I still enjoy reading from a book better.

    shure this stops having to carry a lot of bulky books around but i still prefer the old fashon way at least you dont have to charge a book.
