Just found these amazing new details on Amazon's Kindle 3
PR blurb leaked from the secret Amazon labs, where all the stupid decisions are made:
Prototype
We've done away with messy buttons, plastic casing and whispernet, in favor of something just as useful. Introducing the fabulous Amazon
Brick-With-A-Note-Attached. It has all the functionality of the Kindle 2 and then some! Similar to our Kindle 2 you cannot buy or loan anything from anyone other than us, EVER!!!. Our new DRM scheme (Dangerous Removal Men) will guarantee that we, Amazon, can reign in any nasty persons who try to not buy from us. If you're caught using the
Brick-With-A-Note-Attached with anything other than sanctioned Amazon material, we'll send round the DRM to break your fingers and poke you in the eyes, so you won't be doing it again.
The Amazon
Brick-With-A-Note-Attached is environmentally friendly, requires no peripheral power adapters and can be used (if you buy enough) to build your own house!
Life couldn't be simpler with the
Amazon Brick-With-A-Note-Attached. Want to read a book? Simply tear out each individual page from a book you have already purchased from us, Amazon, and nobody else, then affix it to the device. It's just as easy and flexible to use as the Kindle 2!
Suggested retail price: $359 plus your individual rights (30 day no-money back guarantee)
Amazon - because we care nothing about reading!
