Amazon Kindle: want?

[Mallhew]

Should I?

Something witty goes here to illustrate the fact that I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's a pretty neat idea, but if you just want to read books in a digital format, I use my PSP and I'm sure DS has some Homebrew software that allows it.

I too have no idea what this thread is about... hu?

[man on the moon]

I think it's like an iPod but for books, and you can connect directly and buy the book in a digital format.

My advice, not surprisingly, depends on your taste. Are you someone who appreciates the book in its traditional form, or do you feel comfortable reading it digitally?

Do want. It looks awesome. I'd like to be able to read on the tram in the mornings, but most of the books I read are far too bulky.

I hope they work on a UK release sharpish.

Actually looks pretty cool. I was worried the screen would be tiny, but it's not.

I'd probably read a lot more if I had this...

So would I. I wonder what the sharing system is though, because my Dad gives me a lot of books. If you could automatically get a digital version somehow (don't all books have an ISBN and a unique serial number), that would rock, because I have lots of books that I'd love to read again but not have to pay for twice.

The whole logistics of actually getting a book onto that thing is something I know nothing about.

Who even houses all of these electronic versions? I didn't think anyone did yet.
