It's a first step and eventually will be refined with longer battery life, more colorful screens, non-glare features, the ability to take notes within your e-books, lower price, etc.

You guys have to admit this is a good idea, say your stuck somewhere, forgot to download a new book, or can't make it to the store for a new release....

"To deliver all this data, Amazon is using Sprint Nextel's 3G (third-generation) cellular network. But Kindle owners will never see a bill for that service, because the cost will be included in the price of the content. It's a rare move that might be repeated as content providers and mobile operators look for successful formulas for making money off high-speed data networks."

Future of books, the end of print.

Amazon is going to be fucked, why buy books from them when you can get them for free from a torrent type of website?

Authors will see their pay drastically reduce, once people start stealing them online...

Same thing that has happened to musicians, with the exception being musicians can still hold concerts and make major cash.

Authors cannot
