Yea the price is a little steep but its sold out so people obviously see something there. True, for now the Kindle will have simplicity but as more users start getting comfortable with it – they can tie in interactivity and other value adds!

Good read. For the time being, I think the Kindle is going to be most successful with simple books – fiction/business/self-help as a matter of fact, any books without images. I think I’ll add the newspapers too..It’ll occupy LESS space in the gents 1st class compartment for sure! (don’t you just hate it when men stand with their arms wide-open to read the newspaper ). But $400 for this..isn’t it a lil steep? It’s just a matter of time I guess when interactivity and value added tools are weaved in.
