IF you could add one function to your Kindle... - Page 9

- RSS client app
- Gmail App (it would probably save bandwidth usage in the long run)
- IM client
- Auto Rotate
- A better pointing device such as a small resistive touch pad (like on a laptop but smaller) or a small rollerball like on Blackberry. This may not work with the slow refresh rate of the screen... oh yeah
- A 300% increase in refresh rate would be nice, but I don't see this happening anytime in the next couple of years.

Worst ideas:
- Excel? Word? Really? Who is going to sit and tap out .doc and .xls using this crappy (at best) little keyboard? Excel especially. The thing doesn't even have number keys. Your "Sym" button would be worn out in a week.
- Touchscreen would only be acceptable if it offered 100% quality of no-touchscreen. This device is ALL about the screen. Never forget this Amazon.

I'd like the ability to put magazines into a collection rather than have them hanging around at the bottom of the book collections.

That's the only thing that I find frustrating although being able to browse by cover thumbnails would be quite cool

Better archive - Unless I missed something when you go to add something to the Kindle from archive it basically just gives you the name of the book and the author and no description or view of the cover it is impossible to know what book to load if you have 400+ books and you don't remember the book or something. (Just got the K3 yesterday but had a stash from reading on kindle for pc.)

The ability to write some text and then copy and paste it. This way I could create emails offline and then just paste the text into the window when required. I could also copy bits into other emails. I guess it might help when typing my memoirs to
