How do you feel about the Amazon Kindle?

Question:

The Amazon kindle is such a popular device that it sells out almost immediately. It also carries a pretty high price tag and the use of the device is fairly limited, how do you feel about it?

Answer:

I don’t know that I would ever own a Kindle. It is a bit too “one tasked” in my opinion. There really isn’t anything it can do that my computer can’t (other than be not backlit). Besides, I really prefer to have a book in my hand and read it if I want a book.

If I’m going to be reading a book, I don’t want to sit there and look at a computer screen. Besides, if you get on an airplane you can’t read that while you’re sitting on the runway. The other day while I was sitting on the tarmac waiting to take off, I could read my book, but the lady next to me couldn’t read her kindle until we were in the air.
