How the Apple iPad Could Kill the Kindle

"... The new Amazon Kindle DX has a few weeks to live...."

Interesting musings from PC Mag, on what seems to be an impending (give or take a few months) introduction of a new product.

I kind of agree, but I believe it will actually be a boon to papers and magazines, since a larger, color screen, will support these publishing formats better. Particularly, if publishers move away from Zinio-type subscriptions, and just provide PDFs of the publications.

Keeping my fingers crossed, the iPad comes out sooner, rather than later.
