The Kindle killer app is, for me, the New York Times Latest News Blog. Is the news what distracts me from books, or visa versa? I don't find it a burning question.
Another one-could-say distraction is reading long Mobileread threads on the Kindle eInk browser:
http://www.readingthenet.com/mob?ct=...mobileread.com
Before typing the above into an eInk kindle, shorten the link at tinyurl.com. Mobileread rules mean I can't put the tinyurl address here.
The second killer Kindle eInk sort-of-app, for me, is
www.readingthenet.com. That web site is radically underappreciated.
Easy follow-up reading of essays found on my PC, by using Send to Kindle and Readability, is another big plus for me. Another plus is sending texts to my @free.kindle.com address.
Not having to go to a physical library is certainly a plus, especially as the one two blocks from our house is closed until November for renovation and expansion.
Before eReaders, the book and lunch bag I carry on my transit commute would typically carry a newspaper, a magazine, the book I was reading, and the next book in case I finished the first (or was reading two at a time). So the eReader has a plus for portability.
As for the video, the best I can say is: It was short.
My wife Barbara and I can't figure out why we would want a tablet or smartphone. However, to each his own. My 90 years old Dad bought a Fire last month.
