Too bad about not listening to the podcast, because he interviews members of the design team (the Vice President, for one) and asked about waterproofing, which some want, but he said it added weight to the device, and they weren't interested in that. He also asked about solar charging, which was a rumor at first, and he said they hadn't been able to find a good enough battery, I guess that fit the parameters they set. Also talked a bit about their philosophy in designing new Kindles.
