But that's the way it improves. It’s obvious that Amazon Kindle is becoming more popular wireless eBook device than Sony’s reader. But that’s the way it improves.

It's too easy to fall into someone elses hands, not to mention that you can buy ANYTHING from Amazon.com on it, not just books. Someone in my office bought one and already has had other people buying things on it. The worst part is that your credit card information is stored, so although you might not be able to see the information, it doesn't prevent you from being able to actually buy things. I hope they are planning on having a policy that reimburses you for things purchased while the object was stolen or lost. It's a pretty big issue if you ask me.

Amazon has the advantage of the deals with the publishers, and the deals with Sprint (always-on network wherever you are). Plus the newspapers and magazines. And no, Amazon didn't pay us to write this review. :-) Simon - the Cybook is interesting, but it is only $50 less than the Kindle, and the cost for each ebook is generally substantially more, particularly for newer titles.

Did they pay you for this review??? The Kindle is one of the ugliest looking readers this century; is grossly over-priced and almost completely locked in to proprietary (locked) content. Compare it with the new Cybook and it's like putting an old PC 386 machine against a modern laptop. So sad. So sorry; I'll read my PDF, web pages, and blogs on my Cybook. You have got to be kidding!

Silly name, too. The Kindle is, indeed, an exciting device, however, the fires of excitement kindled by it are quickly extinguished by the $400 price tag. Silly name, too.
