Amazon to unveil thinner Kindle model in August

article published on 28 May, 2010

Thinner is great but Amazon s*cks and no color, that doesn't work for me as I need to see the pictures as that's the best part. A Playboy isn't worth reading in monochrome. LOL

1.) I would not trust any eBook from amazon; amazon is usually very good; but DRM is never to be trusted. Back when the deleted all the George Orwell and Ayn Rand books, I thought they were the devil...today I realize that they chose these books intentionally...to warn the world of the evil of DRM books.

2.) The kindle reads DRM-free PDFs...that is all I would use it for.

3.) I don't care much about color on something like this...the refresh rate and underlying hardware are incapable of much more than displaying an image anyway...so it isn't like a color screen would make it an iPad killer.

4.) To quote Steve Jobs, "If you want porn, get an Android"

Slim is always nice... Amazon's Kindle books are not that bad in terms of selection and pricing. The other day I got an e-mail telling me that one of the books I bought earlier has a new version (correction and such). If I want the new version, all I have to do is send a "Yes" e-mail. If not, leave it alone... The e-mail also said that bookmarks and notes will be removed if a new book is opted for.

As for KillerBug's #2, that's what most people do with an e-reader :)

As for porn and Playboy, hmmm, there are a lot of exotic books you know :) I'm just saying, my Kindle is definitely not "clean."

Eh, I don't know why people don't consider porn books porn? Weird world eh? I guess we're not "allowed" to look at dirty pictures but we can read all about it, lol.
