I think of it like this... How often when talking about a certain subject with a spouse, friend, co-worker, customer, etc. do you insert the phrase or words, "In My Opinion"? I almost never do so when verbally communicating (only when I post in forums), and I can't recall the last time someone reminded me that it was only my opinion or I should not be stating something like it was fact. Not everyone is a pro or regular on forums or online communities and some/many people type how they would talk normally. I try to keep this in mind when reading other people's posts and try not to assume the worst. |

Can we have just one K4 thread by any chance, as we're beginning to sound hysterical and overreact like the iSheep waiting for the next iGimmick... IMHO! Also whilst we're all dreaming and scheming away, I would like the next Kindle to make the beds, do the ironing and make a cup of tea in the morning for me...

In my opinion, I think it's rather dumb to have to qualify remarks on this board with the words "in my opinion.", when it's very obvious to begin with.

I think..... Here's what I think.... Y'know what I think? To me/for me....... etc.... And usually when I say something about how people might want to add IMO on a message board, it's in the middle of a discussion that's gone nuclear because the parties involved insist that they're "universally" right rather than just admitting the subject at hand is a matter of opinion. Not the case here, I was just dittoing what someone else said. And of course, this is all just my opinion. |

There's a very good reason for the next Kindle to have touchscreen instead of physical keyboard: the international market. It's MUCH EASIER to localize software keyboard, just a configuration file to modify (or to select among a list). QWERTZ keyboard for the German market, AZERTY for the French one etc.

I don't think there will be an e-ink device presented next week and I'm not pessimistic. Tablets are coming and everybody knows that.
There are some news about a hybrid e-ink/lcd touchscreen tablet device being in development at Amazon but no other e-ink devices planned atm for the future. I would be very surprised if they'd announce a new e-reader (and I mean e-ink reader) on Sep 28 Be a little realistic. |

I wonder what the odds are that I'll buy at least one of whatever they announce next week?
Knowing me, I'd say the odds are pretty darn good. |
