Make the money selling me books I want, not on hardware with _overpriced_ books. Let me shuffle my books around on disc or to a computer. As long as your ebook hardware it expensive, awkward, and annoying, you won't succeed.

As long as paper books are cheaper and easier to use than the ebook/reader combination, you are in "EPIC FAIL" mode.]]>Oct 8th 2008 7:15AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/worlds-most-overrated-gadgets-and-technologies-8/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/worlds-most-overrated-gadgets-and-technologies-8/Oct 11th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/worlds-most-overrated-gadgets-and-technologies-8/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/worlds-most-overrated-gadgets-and-technologies-8/
As for battery life, Holly is right. Turn off the wifi and even heavy readers can go for a week or more without having to charge the Kindle.

As for price of books, the Kindle versions are definitely less expensive than book store prices for the latest best sellers. And older books are cheaper than paper backs.

Finally, the Kindle opens up the world of self publishing. Take a look at what is out there!
