Title: Considering Kindle
Product review: Before buying this two questions1. Why can't I do all a Kindle can do on my existing laptop or pda? I can read newspapers, magazines etc. and other journals.2. If my laptop can do what a Kindle can do, then why can't the Kindle be designed to do all that a laptop can do? There are dropping prices on laptops approaching the price of the most expensive Kindle. But the laptop can do much more than merely read text. And isn't the Kindle text text that I have to buy to use it? Will the Kindle download and read free text that is available on the net?As this seems to be configured not to have both facilities, sounds like I'd have to lug along two readers, the Kindle and my laptop. Then there are the wires, battery chargers etc. for both.Won't it be just a matter of time before consolidating both facilties in one laptop will be the order of the day. And probably at much lesser price points?
