Reviewing the Kindle 2 on Good’s blog“The acceptance of a new technology isn’t always an either/or question. It depends on a matrix of advantages and disadvantages. Successful products obsolesce their predecessors only when those disadvantages begin to be heavily outweighed by the advantages.

Acceptance of e-readers as a mainstream alternative to books is difficult for me, though I have to admit my Sony E-Reader is quite convenient for reading manuscripts. And I do have this new Amazon Kindle on my wishlist.
I literally realized last week that I want the Kindle. I have a bunch of good books left for me at my apartment, but I don’t have the time to read them and I hate carrying around books. Too bad the coolest feature (downloading from Whispernet) only works in the US. And too bad I already have an iPod Touch and an ebook reader for it.
