Grief, there's been so much interest everywhere else, but Amazon's Kindle seems to have kindled no fires at Mobileread. As a fairly lo-tech kind of guy, I'm wondering whether my Iliad has been overtaken, what with the Kindle's ability to download so easily books on to the device.

I mean, look at: http://www.economist.com/business/di...ry_id=10164693

I really like my Iliad, except for the fact that UK authors' works are so hard to find as e-books. Will Amazon persuade me to forsake Irex? There's certainly no discussion I can find to help me here on Mobileread. Disappointring.
