Today Amazon unveiled the Kindle, their own digital book reader for a mere $399 … and I want one. It has a nice display, great storage capacity, tremendous battery life, and what appears to be a well thought out user interface. And no computers or syncing necessary – it connects to the net using the same kind of high-speed data network as some cellphones, but without requiring the customer to sign up for a cellular data plan. Hopefully the price for ebooks ($9.99 for bestsellers) and the unit itself will come down a bit in the coming months.
