Title: Good idea but bad business model
Product review: I had a chance to use a kindle 2 for several days and I have to say that it was a convenient way to carry a lot of content. As some one who travels a lot it would be a good option although I don't see myself giving up the experience of reading a book entirely. Unfortunately the coercive avaricious, Steve Jobs style, ram it down your throat business model makes it a non starter. My hope is that some of the electronics manufacturers will work with the publishers to adopt a universal E read format Ala Blueray or MP3 so that we can get these devices at a more competitive price point and keep the content market separate. I want to be able to by a book in electronic form, move it from device to device and give it away when I no longer want it. Just as I do know with a traditional book. Sorry Kindle, the short and long term price is just to high.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
