I'm there with them. The Kindle is awful - with its mobile phone based functionality and its tied down nature. Fairfax/News Corp might as well hand over their business to the whims of Amazon if they signed on the dotted line with them.

Aussie Publishers Reject Amazon Kindle

"The race by newspaper publishers to explore platforms to deliver their content digitally is hotting up with news that Amazon Kindle is, in effect, out of the running in Australia.

Fairfax Media, publisher of the Herald, has rebuffed Amazon's portable e-reader as the way to deliver digitised versions of newspapers to readers on the run.

News Corporation has said that it too is looking beyond Amazon at other devices."
