It's not impossible that Amazon will greatly improve the touch experience, but if they don't -- and all else being equal -- I won't consider upgrading. Giving me less surface area to touch safely while not greatly improving my navigation isn't something I would consider an upgrade.
The library book thing is good. That's an advantage the epub devices have definitely had. Hopefully Amazon will be addressing that soon. But I'm still not seeing this huge raft of books I can buy from other stores I can't buy from Amazon.
True enough, although I'm not so sure about the "magical" part. I think that if Amazon released anything "magical", they'd get a lawsuit from Apple, since they think they have a patent on "magic".  |
I think Apple has already summoned Amazon to fork over the kindle 4 for patent infringement
