Amazon Kindle
E-books on demand
Amazon Kindle main
With the paper-like legibility of electronic ink, long battery life, and the ability to hold thousands of pages, e-book readers were already quite handy. But Amazon made them even more convenient by adding a free cellular connection for plucking newspapers, magazines—even entire books—out of the air in seconds. $360; downloads from $1; amazon.com

Nice, but i'd rather have a compact rollable e-reader. Like this one: http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=448
The Kindle AND the books effortlessly & instantaneously available for it, represent a revolutionary improvement.
The Kindle changes the availability and timeliness of information.
The Kindle is not just a superb wireless eBook, much of
its utility comes from Amazon, which has made many tens
of thousands of books available for it.
I think that this is great little device that will make your reading life easier.

OK, neat device - but how would this differ from a Blackberry or iPhone that I think may accomplish this for half the price (with a lot more features, too)?
