Amazon wants to rekindle your reading

kindleYou cannot shake a stick today without hitting an article about Amazon’s new Kindle wireless reading device.

10 ounces and able to ‘carry’ 200 books.  A price tag of $400.00 + the cost of content?  Well if it drives people to read more … than I call it a success, but it’s not the same model of the iPod approach to consumer devices and digital content.
–Too bad Apple’s design team didn’t get a crack at designing this device…its a bit stale looking.

And my latest read is taking a bit longer than usual. An MIT study about globalization … worth every page. Stay tuned!
