Genius. I. So. Want. This.
One problem with me is, when I look at the thickness of the book, I become overwhelmed. This way, I wouldn’t have to worry about having to read 400 pages.

Does it have anti-shake properties so I can read erotic novels and masturbate simultaneously without disturbing the flow of reading?

could i download books stored in my computer?

Nothing to do with power consumption?

How often do you read in the dark? It’s fairly common for people to be in lit spaces during their waking hours.

*aren’t

Is there an updated one coming soon or is it fairly recent? I read a lot and am thinking about buying a kindle, but wouldn’t want to if a new model will be arriving within the next year (books are that bad).
Also, I wish they had Tim Powers’ novels on it. Please go to amazon and request!

What does the Kindle have that the new nook doesn’t?
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:13 am
Yep, and their entire purpose for removing the backlight was to take away the strain for your eyes.
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:19 am
the reason for no back lighting is that reading in the dark is not good for eyes.
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:52 am
True, but that really limits where you read. If you were in the car at night you couldn’t read.
It would be great if they enabled you to turn on and off the backlight, or adjust it.
But it’s a matter of personal opinion
I still want one xD

It’s not a downside! It’s just like a book and that’s the point. If it did have back lighting, that would mean that it would be harder to read.
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:28 pm
The male reading voice sounds much better. Anyway, I really want this, but it’s so expensive!
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Yeah, at first people said it sounded mechanical, almost like a vocaloid voice, but amazon claims people get used to it.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:31 pm
They boosted the battery life 25% more, but it mainly only conserves energy because of no back lighting which means you can’t read in the dark, that was a downside.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:57 pm
I WANT ONE!!!
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Wouldn’t that reading voice get annoying??? It sounds like a GPS device that you’d use in your car. I guess most people probably wouldn’t use this feature anyway. . .

the future. . .
. . . awesome
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:37 pm
i just got one and I love it.
the thing is great
COST ONE LEG AND ONE ARM
but i do love it
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:47 pm
$500 is waaay to much for it, i think reasonable price is around $200
anyway there will be new devices soon – much cheaper
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:23 pm
may have been me. . . . . . I lied. . . . . . 8. 7
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Oh just what I wanna hear. . . . a friggin robot reading to me. Yes, for $500 you think Amazon would have AT LEAST used AT&T’s Natural voices and not the 1980s speak and spell to read to you.
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Ohh, guys!!!!!
Of cource, it has to be black-white, cause it wouldn’t be so energy-efficiently. . . . But if it’s colored it will cost up to 1500 $
I really like KINDLE DX and gonna buy it nearest future. . .
Knowledge is much expensive.

in pornos?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Buy an iPod touch, get an app like Fictionwise or Stanza, and upload your PDFs that way. $500 for something that basically just an E-ink display is booolshit.
