The Kindle is a $400 E-book reader from Amazon.

Just not sure who will buy one. It’s got an odd (retro?) form-factor, has a monochrome screen, and will likely break within 2 years (“last as long as a Blackberry” is how Mr. Bezos put it).
The coolest thing about the Kindle is it’s wirelessness! A free 3G connection (via Sprint’s network) allows users to shop for and download books, magazines, and newspapers, with only the device and the desire.
I’ve often wondered why electronics didn’t integrate phone chips. We can only hope this is the start of a deluge.
Hey, reminds me of a great product idea...
The screen is actually supposed to be better to read with than a computer screen.
But it's too expensive.
