As I am in part of technology world. I am always interested in the new shiny product. If it is a sort of hyped or revolutionary product, I get really excited about it. ( I bought iPhone in August even if it is unusable in Korea (only CDMA world) :-( ). Amazon Kindle made me excited.
As I read an article about Kindle, I did a little research about it.
What surprise me most is that it is using Sprint Network without costing customer's money. I know they cost up-front when we buy Kindle ($399).
However, it is still revolutionary. This is a very important differentiator from other e-book reader like SonyReader. I think contents are always the key to success for the device. Look at iPod and other mp3 players.
After I have seen a few YouTube clips, I thought it is not perfect but it has good potential to change the book world. I would like to try it but am hopless as I am in Korea. The Whispernet is only available through Sprint Network.
I would like to see a few similar tries in Korea. And I want more features like color e-ink, folderable design (2 pages like traditional books), easier grip, backlight, and global access to the book network.
