Ok, I’m a bit of a gadget nut. But I also carry a lot of books when I’m on the go. Amazon.com’s new Kindle seems perfect. I saw the middling level of the average reviews and was worried, but when I’d read a number of the negative reviews, I found them uniformly whiney (why doesn’t it have more features?, why is it so expensive?, why doesn’t it work everywhere?, why isn’t it free?, why isn’t it as cool as an iPhone?) or unreasonable. Almost all of the negative remarks were from people who hadn’t bought one. The positive reviews were based on experience and tended to go on about how wonderful it is. So, I think….I want one.
