batman19426 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: there’s also magazines and newspapers and I would assume that if someone were to buy a kindle, they would be someone who reads more than one book annually
batman19426 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: “don’t like them either” i guess your dislike of books is shown through your lack of literacy
rj12124 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: I’m just saying that the price will reduce and the technology will get better. I remember buying a pocket organizer for $500 in 1997 and probably can get it on ebay nowadays for less than $30. Just give it time.
happyquails June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: rj12124 – you completely misunderstand the advantages of this unit plus the starting price of any new electronic device will soon be irrelevant given what that actual street value becomes. If you are happier with 35-50 printed books instead of a KindleDX have at it! All the more for the rest of us to buy!
rj12124 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: One Kindle DX is about the price of 35-50 printed books. About 40% of Americans read one book or less annually. The DX would therefore be paid off in about 35-50 years if you are one of those 40%. HORRIBLE INVESTMENT.
boportsmouth June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: IF you don’t use books WHAT MEDIUM do you use to access literature?
gozhenkoyevg June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: what???????speak normal
boportsmouth June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: What medium do you use to access literature then?
polindsay June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: I really wrestled with the idea of buying a Kindle 2 when it first came out because it was so expensive, but I ended up buying it anyway. I have no intention of getting a DX at this time because I can’t see myself spending another 500 dollars for the “upgrade.” My Kindle 2 can read magazines and newspapers just fine, and we’ll see about textbooks this fall.
Incendiae4 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: I suppose you are entitled to your own opinion.
lucydog232 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: My daddy just ordered me one!!!!
gozhenkoyevg June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: books r boring and most of the people i know dont like them too
Incendiae4 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: FIRST OF ALL (@ gozhenkoyevg)
books are one of the greatest creation of all kind. I pity the fool who doesn’t cherish the gift of reading – without it, many people would be SO much more ignorant.
Think before you say something.
pidcockw June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: Amazon just e-mailed me that my Kindle DX is shipping end of June.
gozhenkoyevg June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: why would anyone read books? they are so boring
Chenzel05 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: Pirate Bay has textbooks?! Whaaaat
eralin123 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: I ordered one
LastStopReviews June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: Yea, like i said, wishful thinking. I just put in an order for the Kindle DX.
AlaskanPipeWorm June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: Yeah…. no.

Not happening.
ananimus3 June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: Haven’t read all the other comments, but don’t count out the market unlocked by the larger screen with native PDF support.

For my personal use, the Kindle was always ideal. But I spend far more time reading technical and academic documents (PDFs) than I do leisure reading. I swore that if a larger screened device came out with the extras only on the Kindle, I’d be all over it.

Those who have to carry piles of articles and technical papers will eat this up! And many can afford it…
nikolasmacdonald June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: Way back in 1894, a little girl named Madeline Crothe was skipping through the woods when a mysterious man in black snatched her. He brought her to his house, tourtered her, and starved her to death.

LastStopReviews June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: I really hope you’re right in your WWDC thoughts of apple possibly bringing out an ebook reader (iBook). Maybe mix the 10″ touchscreens and make a tablet/ebook reader (wishful thinking), make amazon step up their game a bit.
catsfreakmeout June 15, 2009 at 8:02 am: 1. copy and paste
