Surely this will be the e-book reader to finally convert the sceptics! I have been reading e-books for several years now from much smaller screens than this one, and would never go back to reading regular books now. Why bother, when I can load up a dozen books (actually, hundreds!) on my e-book reader and have it handy wherever I want?

Actually, the new Kindle DX is less portable than previous versions, or other e-book options, but probably comes closest to emulating the feel of a "real" book.

The book is in the contents, not in the format! Stop being sentimental about printed books - we all did it with vinyl records, and how many of us still use those now?! This is the future, get with it!

By the way, this is still only on preorder from Amazon at $489 - you may well see it available on eBay for a massive markup, but I really don't see why anyone should spend money on that, you will probably get yours quicker and certainly cheaper from Amazon - less risk too... (via Storeminator)
