the e-book market is still not sorted out though. very few publishers have a working strategy on this. I've got a project now for one group of publishers (I work on ERP systems for most of them in Aus/Singapore/South Africa) and nothing has filtered down to the distribution/ordering systems yet.
pretty sure that nyce's company is one of the first to get to that point

Looks retarded as shit.

I bought my mother a kindle about 2 years ago, the very first edition that came out and she still uses it. It's green, it's space saving, it's easier for her to carry, it's easier for her to read from, it makes total sense to a lot of today's limitations of print.

It must be my train line and the fact I'm only on for a few stops, but I still hardly ever see a Kindle on the train.

If you want to attach an optional keyboard, you might as well by a laptop.

Originally posted by osterzone Also on the eBook readers- since when has carrying around a book ever been a problem? They market the Kindle, the Nook, and now the iPad as the solution to carrying around all these books. Who reads more than one book at a time? Why do I need a device to hold 1,000 books especially after I read them and won't touch them again? Not to mention when you do a price comparison, buying books the old-fashioned way wins every time. You could buy 17 books at $15 each...more than a year of reading, for the same price as buying a Kindle with jack shit on it. The eBook reader market will always be a niche market until they can figure out how to price the books and devices cheaper.

You read books?

At least it has huge potential to be a dirt cheap JazzMutant Lemur

No dickhead, it's a larger version of an already mediocre device which you released three years ago. Fucking Apple.

I dont see it replacing my laptop any time soon, they'll probably sell a squillion of them to hipsters anyway.

- no multitasking
- no usb ports
- no camera
- $30 a month for unlimited data (on at&t, the shittiest network ever)
- no widescreen display (4:9 wtf?)
- no sd card slot
- $9.99 for a book I can already buy for cheaper without going blind from staring at a computer screen?
- $629 is the cheapest sensible option?

its a shame, they really had a chance to revolutionize the publishing industry. if they would've included a camera and unlimited data included they could've finally made video conferencing commonplace, but I guess that would cut into their cell phone market. and if they undercut amazon buy a couple bucks less than $9.99 could've had a seriously popular ebook market.
