The Kindle is a game changer
So I recently got my hands (for a few moments, at least) on a Kindle. I find it to be quite impressive, especially given it’s a 1st gen product from a company who hasn’t built hardware before. I now firmly believe that Amazon has a game changing device on it’s hands - it clearly has [...]

Scientific evidence that the Kindle’s already won
Ok, I think I went like a whole week without posting anything about the Kindle. I break that silence with a stunning revelation - I now have scientific… SCIENTIFIC! evidence that the Kindle’s won the war and is just waiting for the world to catch up. I was perusing the most recent user reviews (yes… [...]
More on Kindle Reviews.
What better way to start the week off than with a Kindle post! My latest obsession since the iPhone and you are loving it. Admit it. First things first, a lot of people have been suspect about the number of Kindles sold given the speed of their selling out and Amazon’s not saying how many [...]
Google Reader for iPhone gripes
I love Google reader for the iPhone, its simplicity makes it fantastic and fast. Unfortunately, I think they streamlined it a little too much. It’s an 9 out of 10, but with these pretty minor nits, it could go to 11!
Gripe #1 - Why is there no way to read already read posts? True most [...]
On Kindle Critiques…
Internet, my name is Felix and I have a problem. I can’t stop blogging about the Kindle. Sue me.
Anyhyoo, I’ve noticed that a lot of the complaints about the Kindle seem a little like “And also? It doesn’t cook me breakfast when I wake up in the morning. WTF??!1!1!!” Most of the A-List tech bloggers [...]
Kindle’s selling well…
UPDATE: Well, it continues to roll along in the #1 spot on Amazon electronics. Its new available date is Dec 17th. Curious, I strolled through a few pages of the close to 700 reviews to see what people thought. It seemed that overwhelmingly the 1 star posts were by people who don’t actually have one. [...]
One last Kindle before I stop.
I know I said last one was the last, but this one’s the last. I just came across this piece (via) which talks specifically about the interface of the Kindle and how crappy it is, from a hardware perspective and it’s the kind of talk I’ve seen elsewhere so I wanted to look at it. [...]
Other People’s Kindle Hands On
Ok, seriously, last Kindle post for awhile. But I started seeing a few people blogging about their actual Kindle experiences - sure only a few hours time but it’s worth investigating what people who have actually felt it (and aren’t journalists) think about it.
This guy got one and found the navigation metaphor to be very [...]
On the reaction to Amazon’s Kindle
Ok, so it’s official, the internets hate the Kindle. I guess it isn’t surprising, but it got me thinking about their arguments and why I, on the other hand, was kind of excited by it.
The most common argument is that we already have laptops and iPhones why the hell do we need yet another [...]
Kindle’s out and ugly, but cool?
UPDATE: Couple things I saw on the Kindle page. First it supports .prc and .mobi files - great news! Presumably you can mail those in but maybe you can also hook them up to your computer (or add them to a an SD card) and get them right on the piece. If that’s true, then [...]
