Don at CNET was kind enough to post a note about how Kindle and other ebook readers don’t stand a chance. Basically, the claim that the publishing industry will be able to hold off the digital wave is rubbish. Amazon Kindle is an expensive device. For $399, you are paying a lot of money to be able to have the ability to read digital books. But Kindle is more than that. Not only it allows you to read eBooks, it also supports audio. Best of all, it is a “connected” device which I think the major factor that Don is not considering in his assessment of Kindle. You can use the dictionary or just surf Wikipedia for more information at any time, and that is something a paper book can’t do for you.

Amazon Kindle is also easy with our eyes, which makes it a major alternative to a paper book. Besides, you can change the font size and a bunch of other things that make Kindle a good choice for those of us who can’t read the small font used in some of the books in the market today.

I have read many reviews of the Amazon Kindle over the past few months. I can tell you that this is the best review I have ever read. I like the imagination of the author and how he explains the future of books. I have always wondered why a book, especially a novel, should ever end. Why shouldn’t you be able to get into a never ending story by getting lost in the story world. Devices such as Kindle and iPhone certainly allow us to dream about the possibilities in front of us. You can’t ignore the fact that books will always be there, but Kindle and device such as iPhone allow companies to provide richer, deeper, longer experience to consumers. Who says reading is tough!
