This is the best quote from Hanselman's article:

Quote:
The best example of the Kindle being awesome is being at an airport bookstore, browsing the books, reading the backs, then buying the book for 50% off and having it appear on the Kindle in literally seconds, then walking on a plane. It's positively evil.
I mean wow, this is TOTALLY why I want the kindle. I travel a LOT, and there's frequently nothing do do at the airport besides wander through the bookstore. And then I see something great, but don't buy it because I don't want to add more mass to my bag. WOW, this is just the greatest concept ever.
