COOL-ER
When the COOL-ER launched in June, it seriously undercut the Kindle on price, coming in at $250 (in contrast to the Kindle 2's $359 launch price). The built in 1-gigabyte (GB) of storage is enough to hold about 750 books (choose from over 300,000 at coolerbooks.com) and is expandable thanks to an SD card slot. What really makes it unique, though, is the variety of bright hues (including turqoise, red, and hot pink) the COOL-ER reader is available in. Our only beef is that it feels a bit flimsy -- especially in comparison with the Sony readers -- and maneuvering around books and text can be clunky.

This sounds like a great idea but it's not. Once you purchase a book, it's your's for life. You can do anything you want. The book is yours period. If you decide to purchase a $kindle$, you are not in control of the content. You are at the whims of the company and it's ever changing policies. How long before your $Kindle$ starts displaying advertisements that you can't block? How long before some teen hackers or Law Enforcement hacks your $Kindle$? How long intil you have to purchase protection $oftware for the $Kindle$ in the future? How long intil $Kindle$ figures out how to screw you with a monthly charge? How long in til the Schools jump on board and every student is required to have a $$Kindle$$? Who will pay for the $Kindles$ when students are required to have them? How long intil $Kindle$ is required for daily life? Has anyone noticed that American Companies want your money and they also want control over the product after the sale? Think DRM is a pain in the ass? $Kindle$ will intoduce more restrictive software thats makes the pain in the ass DRM look like open software. This is America and everyone knows even a great idea that could benefit everyone will first be abused by business, law enforcement and government long before the public will benefit. OK, it's bedtime you sheep.

Hey? Why not bring the cost of it down, down, down!!!
Too expensive! I bought the Amazon Kindle for Iphone for .99 cents!
Some books are free even! Do the research people, I'm just saying. Save the earth and some money too! I did and still do.
