The Kindle Flop

kindle.jpg

Amazon's attempt at a wireless e-book. The distribution model is excellent (US only though) but with an incredibly restrictive DRM it ignores the basic behaviour of the book buyer. People want to be able to own, share, reference, and covet their books. None of this is possible with the Kindle. Nice attempt but hopefully doomed to failure. It's $400!
