To buy or not to buy

I already ordered one. After the initial disappointment of unmet desires I had to ask myself if I wanted the device that is being sold. The answer was yes.

If you are interested, Len Edgerly had a very informative interview with the Kindle Team on Kindle Chronicles. They said color is not ready and left me thinking that it will not be ready for some time. If you are waiting for audio to return -you should listen to this interview-it probably will not come to a Kindle any time soon.They stated one of the driving factors in this device is to get it to approximate paper-weight and thickness and get the device to disappear. They have successfully improved in these areas over the years.

I do think they missed several things on this reader:
Storage-they need more for some of the heavy users
Fonts and formatting
Larger form factor-They have not said they will not make a larger device. New screen display info may emerge at SID display week- May 24-26th.

I notice many complaining about this device. To my mind you have two good choices if this device is not for you:
-Don't buy it
-Contact Amazon with your requests- I have and will do this!!
In the end we vote with our wallets...I am getting it and will gladly review it.
