Interesting article about the Kindle included in:

"The Top 10 Heartbreaking Gadgets of 2007" (from Wired)

And I quote:

"No native PDF support. Costs as much as a low-end laptop. "Klugey"
keyboard. Clumsy, extortionate e-mail conversion process for adding
your own files. And the web browser? Crippled. But what really kills
us? You have to pay to read a blog on this thing."

Pass!

Thanks Robert.

Neil.
