I’ve been following the progress of the Amazon
Kindle. The sales alone suggest that this may be the
e-reader that finally makes digital reading a serious contender
to the book. Not satisfied with pure market data, I’ve been
keeping up with friends who have purchased the device to see
what’s happening with their habits and usage.
Interesting thing is that they are all still using it. Not
just using it, but loving it. It appears the Kindle is not
one of those nifty devices that ends up in your drawer (How many
Palm Pilots experienced that fate?). I can only imagine how great
it would be to embark on a series of flights with only one thin
device covering all my reading needs.
Now, the new, improved Kindle is out with no price
increase. Check
it out here. I’m saving my pennies, fondly gazing upon
it like Mike Meyers in Wayne’s World yearning for his
dream guitar. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will …
be … mine.
And Wlady, Jim, J. Peter, etc.? Make sure we Kindle buyers
can get our AmSpec fix through Amazon’s service.
