The Kindle is a new reading device offered by Amazon.com that shows a lot of promise. Unlike past readers, this device has the access to Amazons' vast library with several major newspapers signing on to provide content that is delivered thru a high-speed data network connection like a cell phone. With no WIFI hotspots to find and a promise of no cellular fees, this is the first truly mobile electronic reading device. The only problem I see is the price tag of four hundred dollars but this has not stop some people from coughing up the big bucks considering there is already a waiting list. I have been reading electronic text for years utilizing Microsoft reader for pocket pc and never understood why this technology moved more into the mainstream. I hope that this new device will spark more interest in the realm of digital text and we can look forward to some new less expensive means for delivery to the public.
