new wireless reading device


amazon have released amazon kindle a wireless reading device which had the intention of 'being the future of book reading'. this is a product that my product could potentially be competing against. however, it is an example of the advanced technological products which have failed to capture the essence of reading. what is the point in reading a book if you cannot thumb through the pages and feel the front cover etc?

the amazon kindle has a revolutionary electronic-paper display provides a sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper. it is simple to use: no computer, no cables, no syncing. there are more than 88,000 books available. it is lighter and thinner than a typical paperback; weighs only 10.3 ounces. and holds over 200 titles.

i just don't like it.
