What makes a new Kindle model makes it a netbook or laptop cheaper full computer cannot do?
I have never used a Kindle from Amazon, but looking at the price I see that cost as much as some laptops and are more expensive than many of the netbooks. What does one make a computer Kindle comparable price laptop does not? I think a cheaper netbook or notebook can do everything a Kindle, but would do much more. Indicate whether you have experience with a Kindle.
It is designed for portable reading, like MP3 or iPod instead of netbook. I have the Kindle 2 and I love it. If you like reading, I say is definitely a must have. I remember I read these comments when I decided to buy the Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http% 3A% 2F%%% 2Fwww.amazon.com 2Freview 2FR2DUM7S4XW06QN 3Fie%%%%%% 3DUTF8 26ASIN 26nodeID 3DB00154JDAI 26ref% 3D% 255F% 3Dcm 255Fcr%%% 255Fpr 255Fcmt & tag = MoreInfo-po-20 and linkCode = UR2 and camp = 1789 & creative = 390 957 http://www.speedreaderxreview.com/is-kindle-2-worth-the-price There is also a good news that Amazon has just put a price "slash" in the Kindle 2, and sells $ 100 cheaper than the price I have my Kindle … Hope that helps:)
