Personally I use the ipod and iphone for my "reading/listening" to books and magazines, and podcasts. For me it works better, as I'm on the move constantly, but I know there are many that love the written word. Without a doubt either method will improve our knowledge. How wonderful.

It is a single-use gadget..... I am a reader and can burn through books with the best of them. I use my Blackberry and a website called Audible. I download audio books to my computer and I can burn cd's to listen to, or listen from my computer or put them on my Blackberry..... When I am out walking the dog I can listen to my newest book, get my daily dose of fresh air and exercise and enjoy an inspiration novel, sales/training guru, fun, romance, sport, travel. My blackberry has a speaker in it so that when I am doing housework or paperwork I can listen to a book as well. Best of all, it is somethng I already have to carry anyway.... LOVE it!!!! Highly recommend it!!! I have an even better idea than the Kindle. It is a single-use gadget….. I am a reader and can burn through books with the best of them.

You'll never convince a literary purist on its benefits but I definitely think it has a place in the market for many. As far as the Kindle itself, I see alot of room for improvement, and suspect many of the bigger tech players will eventually prey in on this market with more robust technology such as touchscreens, Hi Richard,
