Supposedly, with the black "ink" only it is easier to read the e-books in brighter light than would be the case for color print. I'm sure that someone will figure it out sooner or later. The readers are not "back lit" either because they are going for extended battery life rather than color.

I do think that you have to throw Apple and its iPhone into the mix, too. This could get expensive for the companies as well as for their customers who bet incorrectly on which technology will become the dominant one.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-31796407567807446602007-09-10T21:35:00.000-05:002007-09-10T21:35:00.000-05:00I'm a sucker for new technology, Sylvia, and would...I'm a sucker for new technology, Sylvia, and would love to be able to play with one of these things. The biggest drawback that I can see is that there is no color on these things and surfing the web in black and white doesn't appeal to me all that much.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-84734912133920416602007-09-09T13:20:00.000-05:002007-09-09T13:20:00.000-05:00Thanks for this info and article!

Or at least that is what this new Amazon gadget makes me think.Laura Stampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787962821365250964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-83058957779243861822007-09-09T12:24:00.000-05:002007-09-09T12:24:00.000-05:00I gotta say, the Kindle looks awesome.

The wi-fi and web surfing capability are a bonus. Sure it's hideously expensive, but if I was a long-distance commuter or spent a lot of time waiting, it would be a pretty great toy to have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
