I also think the iPad is really damn cool, but I wonder why so many folks on Twitter are ready to trash their Kindle. The e-ink that it uses is a great technology which makes it equally comfortable to read as real print. When I read a 20-page PDF on any sort of screen, I feel like my eyes are going to melt out - can't imagine reading a whole book on one of these things.
Additionally, the sustainability factor of reading a whole book on a powered, backlit computer, versus the extremely low power Kindle, seems a little off to me. Basically I think it may be an awesome new form of computing, but have serious doubts that it's the ultimate e-book product. - Loren -- Loren Baxter blog: http://acleandesign.com business: http://engagebig.com t: @lorenbaxter ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
