My wife is a prodigious reader, so I thought this (Kindle 2) would be a good Christmas gift. Anyone have any experience with one?
While the idea of putting books in a digital format to make them easier to access is not a bad idea.
But the proprietary format that the Kendal uses in addtion to the ablity amazon has to steal (take back) the property you rightly bought at any time for any reason would be the reason i will never own one and suggest the same to you.
To add to that, unlike physical books that you are free to give or lend to a friend you can do no such thing with the digital versions you buy on the Kendal.
You will also end up paying money for books that are in public domain and should be free, but they dont tell you that.
I would strongly advise not to buy into a proprietary format device that is at the bleeding edge of a rapidly developing technology. History shows that early adopters often are left having to rebuy the same technology (in slightly different form) in the not to distant future.
