Andrea’s Amazon Bits

November 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Andrea James has a nifty blog that covers Amazonand has a couple of interesting bits on it lately. One of them looks at the new Amazon “window-shopping” experience, that’s at http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/amazon/archives/152723.asp. The other one looks at Oprah’s endorsement of the Kindle and discusses the possibility that Kindle may be a better buy for women.

I don’t know about that. I do own a Kindle, however, and know that my expectations of what a book should offer me has been much changed since I got my Kindle (which I love and which I use constantly.) I also find myself very irritated if a paper book on Amazon is not available on Kindle. Now do I still read paper books? Heck yeah. But Kindle books are cheaper for the most part, there’s no waiting for delivery, and I do believe that reading on the E-Ink screen is just as comfortable (possibly more comfortable) than a paper book.
