hmmm…if it had a color screen and could play video or picture feeds from Flickr or my website, & better touch screen, then it might interest me… I don’t read many books…mostly blogs or listen to audiobooks, podcasts and music. Guess I’ll just wait until Apple releases (praying) a Mac Tablet this year… But those who read a lot I can see this being a joy to use. Great replacement for magazines, newspapers, and books.
The larger screen would be helpful, compared to the smaller one on the standard model. I’m not sure the prices should be so high on either of these models. It does include an unlimited monthly internet plan over 3G or Wifi, but that doesn’t justify the price to me, as 3G isn’t available in my city. And if I rely on wifi, then I might as well use my computer’s 24” screen and internet connection. I’m not convinced but will be anxious to see some reviews on the Kindle DX.
