But I should be able to by ebooks that i can read on my eink based reader, my iphone, and my computer.To sum up the kindle 3 should be a cheaper kindle. The kindle 4 should be a universal ebook platform. The number one thing amazon needs to work on is price.

Get the kindle down to $199 and you will have a real winner.

As far as the device goes, my only complaint is the price.

What really needs to happen is amazon needs to get out of the consumer electronics business and make the Kindle into a platform for selling books.

There was good reason to make the kindle so that you could jump start the ebook business, and honestly there is still some work to do on this front. But I should be able to by ebooks that i can read on my eink based reader, my iphone, and my computer.

To sum up the kindle 3 should be a cheaper kindle. The kindle 4 should be a universal ebook platform.

So I don't need "true web," I don't need color, and I don't want a touchscreen (unless there's a designated, separate area gestures -- who wants fingerprints smeared all over the screen?)I just want Kindle to be the best book reading device. So I want it to implement folders and/or tags, allow the modification of book metadata on the fly, and I want books that are consistently well-formatted. I'd also like to view .pdfs and Word documents without conversion. What I don’t want is the Kindle to become an everything device and lose its focus on what it’s for — reading.

I guess I assumed implementing that would be easier than adding a color screen or a SDK. But we need folder, you are right! I forgot that.

I really need to be able to arrange the many books I have into folders. It would also be nice to be able to search within only selected folders so if you are looking for something say from the American Civil War you can just search those folders that contain likely items.Love my Kindle 1 but would love to see folders added.The only other thing I would add would be an 8 1/2 x 11 model. I read a lot of downloaded Google Books and these typically do not work well on the Kindle - due to the page images being re-sized to fit the smaller screen. At this point I am leaning towards buying the new plastic logic machine for reading pdfs but I would prefer a Kindle with a large screen. Cheers. Folders my friend, folders!
