this thing looks like my old Texas Instruments Graphing Calculater from 1988. Way to go Spamazon on your first forray into electronic devices. Id rather use a book than this hunk of plastic. Looks like they outsourced the design to Radio Shack!

I think I will stick with my eReader ….$400.00 is a lot of money to spend on a reader plus the cost of books. That is until they bring the price down a couple of hundred dollars

Wow…I don’t know if that’s a prototype or what, but it’s one ugly device. And for $400?!!! No way!

That is an ugly little device, isn’t it? For over $400 though, I’m sticking with my ebookwise. Featurewise it beats out the Sony ereader at 1/3 the price and I can’t see Amazon’s having that much more appeal seeing as it’s jsut going to to rehash an old DRM and try to trap me into their delivery program. It looks flat too. One of my big gripes with the Sony is how egronomically unfriendly it is. *sigh*
