]]> Comment on Amazon’s Kindle, Almost Like The iPhone by Shaun Spalding http://www.techspoofs.com/product-pit/amazons-kindle-almost-like-the-iphone/#comment-107 Shaun Spalding Thu, 29 Nov 2007 21:21:47 +0000 http://www.techspoofs.com/eli-sandavols-product-pit/amazons-kindle-almost-like-the-iphone/#comment-107 The Kindle is WAY overhyped compared to the Sony Reader. 1. You have to use Amazon's proprietary format in order to read books that you buy. That means you can't load files from your own computer, and the few files that you can load, you have to send to Amazon to convert it before they send a copy back to you that you can use on your Kindle. 2. DRM: You can't share the books that you buy with the Kindle with other Kindle owners. Essentially, you're renting these books from Amazon, not buying them. 3. The Sony readers, and other upcoming readers support various file formats as opposed to the Amazon proprietary Kindle format. 4. The Sony reader uses digital ink, not an LCD. There's no bright light shining in your face while you're reading, not to mention the improved battery life on the Kindle. I'd much rather keep the physical books AND my book shelf than tie my reading habits only to Amazon. Anyway, I'd much rather read a piece of paper than an 8 bit screen.

Would google OS be fast and clean and free but after a while comes full of ads?

Would you mind ads on your desktop rather than pay for your OS?
