Some thoughts on the Kindle, the e-Book Market, and why I’ll still buy physical books…
[Apologies for the blur on that above pic. It’s absolutely 100% not indicative of the display quality of the Kindles’ display]
I’ve owned my Kindle (3rd Gen, Wi-Fi only) for a exactly a week at this point (December 2nd, 2010). Having read two books so far on the device, as well as having spent some time ‘getting a feel’ for it, I figured it was perhaps time to write up a few thoughts. I’ve expanded from my original premise slightly, to include some thoughts on the actual ‘market’ that devices such as the Kindle are designed to serve, and why said marketplace, might end up holding the sale of e-book readers back.
As per usual, to anyone who knows me - I haven’t sat down and really ‘blocked out’ a narrative as such for this - ‘tis just a stream of thoughts and opinions. So with that little disclaimer.
Why I’ll still be buying books, even though I love my Kindle…
