Holy Repoed Books Batman!

[Fathom Zero]

Ummmm

No.

The Kindle uses Sprint's network to download any content, be it one of Amazon's books or a pared down web site. And it does it at no charge to the one whom purchases it. The costs for using the network are taken in along with the ~$300. The kit and kaboodle's probably worth far less. Probably not even half. And it has no Wifi. It doesn't need it.

It uses an e-ink display. This new tech that lasts a while and just barely sips away at battery life. It also has the potential to display things even when power is not applied, saving what you've been reading.

It's a neat bit of kit, but you'd have to kill me before this'd be my go-to for information and books. It can never replace a book, or at least the novelty of tactile pages.
