I was so excited when I heard the news about a new Kindle last week, but these pictures and info have tempered that.
Being retired I have a lot of time and I spend more than a little of that watching video reviews of various devices. One of my pet peeves is the focus of a few of the reviewers on form as opposed to functionality. Not that I think looks are unimportant but how well it works is the main thing for an ereader/phone/tablet.

I guess I'm a techie at heart. If two women are walking down the street, one in jeans and the other in a very high fashion expensive gown I'll probably be looking at the one in jeans. Very focused on function am I!
