[Web4lib] Amazon's Kindle e-book reader

[Robin]

I must say that, although I'm getting a little weary of the topic, I
think it's valuable to get some many opinions and viewpoints,
especially, as Larry says, those of an actual owner. I'm amazed at the
volume of comments and the vehemence of the views expressed - I can't
remember the last time a new product drew such attention on any of the
lists I'm on. I hope it reflects the future success of ebook readers in
general; and if it helps bring an end to the format wars, more power to
it!

Not this list member -- I especially appreciated reading Dee Ann 
Allison's comments as an actual owner. I will say that, for something 
widely reported to suck, it sure gets a lot of attention.
