My thoughts exactly. Tell that to all the people who buy an Xbox...
people pay $4 for a coffee... I'd rather buy a book.

The guy even says that most "readers" won't buy it because they are not into tech. Forgetting that you don't even need a computer to use a kindle.

Wired, of all mags, Wired....

With e-ink, I read much much more simply because I can always have my books with me, and I think many people will start reading more as well.
Plus the convenience of the Kindle facilitates impulse purchase, while at the same time lets you read the first chapter of any book.

To me the kindle keeps getting better and better....
