I ordered a kindle a month ago and just got the email stating it would be here in a week (or two but I am being optimistic). I have thought about ebooks for the month and wished the kindle had a few things. 1. Better graphics for pictures. I read mostly classics but an occasional graphic novel might be nice.
2. Ever been bored at work and played mine sweeper or solitaire? Might be nice to switch over and play chess for a while. 3. Note taking. I want to jot down a few things, maybe a grocery list for the concoction I am going to whip up for my wife this evening. With the kindle it is difficult and must be tied to a book. Might be nice to have a tablet function where I can jot things down.
The diehard kindle owners say the kindle is for reading. If you want something more, look somewhere else. I am a photographer and this reminds me of the pros 20 years ago. Their cameras were all manual. You wanted autofocus or any automatic features, look somewhere else. A pro camera was not for you. Now the pro cameras have the most advanced technology of the cameras.
Don't get me wrong, I still want to primarily read on the device. Newspapers and magazines on occasion. So tell me, why should I get the kindle? Why not?
Thanks for the help and reading the long post.
