Amazon Kindle Review

Reading on Kindle is remarkably comfortable. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says that the first goal the Kindle team set was to emulate the book’s most crucial feature: that it disappears into the story as you read.
Of course, Kindle works differently than a dead-tree book, and those differences are stark in the first days of using it. The screen “blink”, as it loads a new page, was distracting at first. But it’s faster than turning a page in a book, and we quickly ceased to notice this.

Great, in depth review by Macintouch. That is one of the largest issues I have with e-book readers — when reading from one, do you forget that you’re reading from a device, like you do when reading a good book? If the Kindle can’t provide that, then it is useless from the beginning.

What still makes the Kindle worthless for me, though, are two things:

• I can’t make notes on the Kindle as easily as a real book. You can “clip” parts from your e-book on the Kindle, which is great, but nothing beats simply writing notes in the margin of a real book.
• I can’t share a Kindle book. That, I think, is its biggest issue. Without enabling people to easily share their books with others, the Kindle simply will not be as useful as a real book.
