I read the live blog on the iPad and watched a demo video. Slick device but I wouldn't write off the Kindle to soon. I for one, still prefer it. For one thing, the communications on Kindle is free unlike the iPad. Also, I bought the Kindle because I wanted a dedicated eBook reader which it is and the iPad is not. The low end iPad is twice the cost. It's a slick device but I have a smart phone that gives me a lot of that so why pay min $500 plus data for all the xtras? Besides, I'm not so big on gaming and music these days. About the only way I even think of this device is if I suddenly come into a bunch of money where I can just throw $500 down. So... me and my Kindle will remain close friends along with Amazon which I believe to be one of the finest web sites going. As always, I'm sure Apple will have it's share of followers but I'll save my money for a niftier smart phone whenever I decide I need to scratch that itch.
