Kindle makes me more excited for the next generation of ebook readers than it does for itself. When I use it, I think how amazing the next-gen readers are going to be. And the great part is that all the tech it needs to Get It Right exists in an affordable fashion.

I think my primary issue is with the slowness of the device and the clunkiness of the "5-way". Once they get this part right, perhaps replacing 5-way with a touch screen, they'd be great. I don't need color, though that will come with time, but I don't like feeling frustrated trying to use the device quickly to look up information or move from mode to mode.


I'm looking forward to trying the Kindle, but it's not available (afaik) in Canada.
