My New Kindle
Filed under: Stuff I Like
Just got my new Kindle today from Amazon. I have been wanting something like this for quite sometime so when I heard the announcement last week I jumped on it right away. I know I'm a sucker for the early adopter thing (yes, I got an iPhone on day one), but it's easy for me to justify when the world I live and breath is communications and marketing. So there.
I have not used my Kindle enough to give any sort of review, but I'm anxious to play with it this week. The packaging is pretty cool--definitely Apple-esque in Amazon's approach. And while Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ain't no Steve Jobs, I am curious to see if Kindle does to the book industry what the iPod did to the music industry. The disruption may be a little more far-fetched, but in the brief moments I've spent with Kindle so far, this thing is pretty amazing. It seems to be the perfect companion for reading nuts like myself.
I love that the screen doesn't look or feel like a laptop. It's a whole new technology that uses digital ink to create pages on the fly. It is really comfortable to read.

Wow. It appears larger than I expected (or either your head is smaller than I expected). :)

Uh, that ain't a picture of me, Daniel. That's Jeff Bezos holding his Kindle. And my head is actually quite large.
