    The author of this article tested out the new Kindle e-book reader and found that while there are still giltches to be worked out, this is the first e-reader that's "good enough to criticize."

    Quoted: Amazon.com unveiled its Kindle e-book reader last week with a PR extravaganza that might impress even Steve Jobs.

      I've been downloading e-books to my Palm for years and love it. It's not perhaps the best format, but I always have my Palm with me and I don't have to l;ug around another piece of equipment.

      yeah, the idea of carrying around yet another gadget doesn't really appeal to me. do you find reading from the screen at all straining on your eyes?

      i've always been under the impression that people disliked reading from the screen - wondering if this has changed over the years due to the internet and higher penetration of the personal computer.

      No I still hate it.

    • shiwani - Nov 28 2007

      yeah, me too. my eyes get so dry & strained after editing on screen all day. i much prefer printing things out if i'm going to do a lot of reading.
