According to the leaked User's Manual, the Amazon Kindle will come with a detachable light source powered by 3 AAA batteries. Its advantage over 3rd party light sources is that it is held in place by built-in magnets and a custom slot in the reader. If this proves to be a popular feature, then presumably other vendors will do something similar in future readers. It could certainly be designed in, and then sold as an optional accessory (adding to revenue).

If you want to kill a discussion, all you have to do is make a reference to Hitler -- it's well known Web Forum Law that references to Hitler will kill a thread within 3 or 4 posts. Hitler didn't have backlighting or DRM on his e-book reader either! |
