What? Nice an agenda accusation without actually replying to my argument. I liked your counter arguments man, which where non existent.

Harry, you know enough to be more honest. Tell what the size of typical textbook with graphs, and pictures is, factor in how many textbooks a student reads, and tell me if the kindle can handle any of that well. That's right it can't. And what should a student say do with their pdf lecture notes that amount on average during a year to say 1gb at least (with assorted supplementary journal material etc.) Get another reader because amazon are too greedy to include and sd card or bring storage capacities up to 2010 instead of 2005 standards?

Also tell me how much including say ten pages of full sized pictures raises the size? If your definition of ebooks is literature or text solely, which it is is not of much use now is it?

And tell me something else Harry, a lot of people have journal articles, pdf documents, lecture notes, user created pdf documents, all sorts of reading material, who well does the kindle handle these? That's right not well at all. Now what do you suggest these people do ( I would say buy an ipad (and most have) if they can handle the lcd reading - I can't that well, but a lot do)? Buy kindle solely for amazon to pimp their content and then buy a separate ebook reader for everything else? I thought the kindle was supposed to be a reader, not some orwellian amazon sanctioned content reader, that can't even handle any larger file sizes from amazon itself well. So say a college proffesor or a student are forced to have another reader (an ipad say) on the side for all their other needs and a kindle for amazon content. Great scenario...
