Title: 2 stars for "barely okay" Let's aim higher Amazon!
Product review: As e-readers go, Kindle is just barely okay. I say barely because the electronic ink just does not work the magic one would hope for. Moderately dark text on a moderately light background remind me of a cheap paperback book from the 1960s, rather than the crisp post-modern e-text of today. Internet access, although in "beta" was not even sketchy. Archaic, hard to manipulate navigation buttons and a QWERTY keyboard that is too big to thumb and too small to type on, also contribute to the 2 star rating. I sold my Kindle, barely used, on Amazon for about 1/2 of what I paid for it. Won't try again until: 1) Crisper, readable, full-color, adjustable text is standard. 2) Internet access is brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century and it is possible to access e-mail without having to use a recipe book. 3) Better navigation and typing tools are developed. I don't think it will be a long wait. Kindle 4 or 5, I expect.
