Glad to see it looks like a modern device now instead of something from the 90s.

Is it pretty use friendly? I thought about getting one but don't know if I'd like to read a book this way. I read all sorts of pdfs on my laptop, but have been wondering if I'd like this.

Looks like the Apple Newton from about 1993.

@pjchmiel Not really.

You're right, the Newton looks more sophisticated. :)

Just joshing you, I understand that you want to feel good about your purchase and I'm sure it's a fine product that does exactly what it's meant to do; but it's hard to deny that it looks clunky and primitive with its monochromatic screen, like a Mac Plus, a first-generation GameBoy, an early ipod (could never figure out why those were monochrome at first, in this era), Newton, etc.

@pjchmiel Considering most (non-textbooks) people read have no color pictures, B&W is a non-issue.

I understand it's not a killer device for everyone, but that doesn't change the appeal of it to many. I had a Kindle gen1 (sold it on eBay for $285 (makes upgrading pretty guilt-free in my book) and I love my Kindle2.

Tech advances take time. You can either wait 10 years or enjoy the progression at certain steps along the way. I choose the latter. It's why I've have about 70% of the different iPods ever on the market (and sold them all to finance the next-gen each time), GPS, PDAs, etc. You can thank early adopters for technology advancing at the pace it does.

I also have a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid I love, too, but I'm sure you think those are archaic because they still require gasoline. ;-)
