I can understand not wanting to carry around another device. Mobile devices are on a continuing converging path however, so I don’t think it will be too long before we have a PDA with Kindle’s features. Electronic readers do have the potential to save a lot of resources however, so it would be nice to see them become accepted.

I fully agree with you Tom, there are lots and lots of gadgets these days that can do what Kindle can do (iPod being one of the many). IMO, its just a waste of money. If they want to venture in the gadget industry, they might as well come up with one that competes with those that are currently available in the market, or they could provide one that have more features, uses, etc. Anyway, thanks for sharing this.

I agree on the multitude of devices, can’t we just have two? One phone and one that does everything else?

I don’t think I could read a whole book on an iPod screen though. Plus they aren’t physicaly large enough for easy reading. And then there is battery life, keeping that screen fully-lit for hours on end as you read. eInk is not just a bit more DPI, it is an order of magnitude better to read by. It isn’t great for moving images though.

Sure Shane, but I can do that with the iPod already!

It’s an extra device but if it’s as good as Jeff claims then it would mean not having to carry a book(s) around with you
