  • Kindle 2: Still Expensive [View article]
    C´mon...why buying the crappy kindle when for some bucks more you can buy a standard laptop. Though it is a nice concept to have something to read books with, it will not have anywhere near the impact of the Ipod. Why?

    First of all, people still like to buy paper books because, apart from the reading amusement, books are good for shelves. People want to put them in places where they can be seen. They show who we are, what we like, what we have studied. You cannot do that with the kindle. Can you imagine a decent office without books??

    Second of all, an Ipod gives you a kind of progressive, modern, young look. You don´t get that with the kindle.The ipod gives you games, and other stuff. It delivers more than music.

    Third, it IS expensive. 300+ bucks is quite expensive for a black and white screen, nothing new screen. Can i read books on my laptop? Yes. So why buying the extra bulky kindle?.

    Put a phone, music and a kindle together and you probably will get something. But hey, that´s a laptop.
