let it mature a bit keep us briefed just replaced my apple ipod, and used this bootstrapdevelopment.com software successfully to reverse copy my old iPod music to my new liquid-chilled PC, and downloaded the precious music (4 days worth, taking up 1.5% of the new iPod's memory) i am sure Apple will invade Amazon when opportune

Prediction: Kindle will be a bust. Reason: The act of grasping paper, having an idea as to how much of the book is left, and the many other minute but very pleasant sensory experiences involved in reading a 3D book are minimized, if not completely eliminated, by Kindle. Reading the book is not the only pleasure involved. The pleasure begins at the book shop when the reader browses, finds something interesting, has a cup of coffee. All of this unnoticed ritual disappears with a Kindle. Serious biblioholics will recoil in terror. Reading with a Kindle will be like drinking virtual cyberwine. Read this article. 216.35.221.77 Amazon acknowledges a long history of failed reading devices. It accordingly attempted to mimic paper in its display but obviously failed since, quite clearly, the device cannot reproduce its sensory 'feel.' It also does not provide the bookshop experience. RIP Kindle.
