Link: The Kindle is fine. It could’ve been much more than that.
Frommer says the Kindle is mediocre, and that’s absolutely true. Amazon’s approach to Kindle software updates has been erratic at best and absent at worst, … … The interface is inelegant and in so many ways unchanged from its original release in 2007… … Typography on the Kindle is still mediocre, despite minor advances … … support for library borrowing is hidden, because Amazon really wants you to buy books.
Amazing how so many people love these devices yet how very poor they are in so many areas… Does this really speak to the strength of e-ink as a technology or more to the pleasure of reading without distractions?
