Is Amazon’s Kindle Success Sustainable?

For me, the Kindle's size is not a problem. It is actually smaller than the 3 books, 4 magazines, and 2 newspapers that I insist on taking on every vacation. It fits perfectly into my purse, and is a little smaller than the paperback that I would probably be carrying.

The selection of content is great -- but there is always room for improvement. For example, I read in the LA Times book review one Sunday morning about a newly released non-ficition title ($25 in hardcover). I opened my Kindle, found it, bought it, and started reading within an hour. Cost $9.99.

Added features. I'd like full internet access. I'd like it to be able to transfer my iTunes more easily. I've yet mastered how to convert my iTunes to MP3 format and get them to the Kindle. I don't want it to be a phone and a camera. Better support of graphics and photos would be great. They will come.

In the meantime, I love my Kindle. I never leave home without it or my iPhone. It is the best surprise gift I ever got from my husband. I think he got tired of hearing me talk about it and of having to carry all my reading materials.

My profile: I'm a 60+ woman. I need the ability to adjust font size. Reading on the iPhone is too difficult for me.
