There have times were I wish the kindle handled epub. I know its probably never going to happen. I shouldn't have to worry about files formates with books. It doesn't matter where I buy my movies or music, itunes plays them all.

At least Amazon, like Apple, tell you a launch date and price at the big party. There are some other companies that could learn from this.

I have been thinking about and looking at the Nook lately, so I am interested in Paperwhite. I'll be waiting for reviews and some hands on time before I buy.

I don't like the "reading time" either. I could do without social media tracking.

I will be interested in watching the Fire HD. Could it be as productive on it as the ipad? Not this year, but in another year. Amazon is pushing hard so its possible. They also seem to have a plan and focus other companies lack.

I will be checking out the parental controls. Parental controls never seem to do what I want them too. They are either to restrictive or not restrictive enough. There is no balance. Tablets really need separate user accounts for this to work right.
