Amazon Kindle
Amazon has released a new competitor in the ebook-reading device market. Dubbed the Kindle, this device features the ability to download purchased ebooks wirelessly over a cell phone network, so no wi-fi hotspots are required. Amazon is covering the costs of cell connectivity, so you don’t need a contract, or a computer. This is a killer app.
You can put stuff on it via a USB cable from your computer, if you want to. I just wonder if it’s compatible with ebooks purchased from other sellers.
I’m still leaning towards getting a Cybook, but this will certainly make me do some comparison shopping.
