The biggest thing Kindle is missing is content. I just came into some unexpected cash and was all set to buy a Kindle DX and when I checked I only found about 10 books I would want to read that are Kindle ready. I don’t read best sellers, thrillers, mysteries, romances, pulp fiction, pop psychology, etc. I am very picky about books and I simply could not find enough content to justify the purchase even though I am sold on the platform.
Also, it would be nice if when purchasing a hard-copy book from Amazon, the purchase would come with a discount for the Kindle edition. I am not giving up my hard-copy library to go Kindle, I am going Kindle to expand my ability to read my existing library when I am on the go (I ride a motorcycle and can stow the kindle DX a heck of a lot easier than even one book, let alone a dozen or hundred.
Give me the content and I will get a Kindle. Yes, I have been clicking the “I want to read this book on the Kindle” links like mad.
