Kindle Fire not much of an e-reader
Jon Phillips provides an extensive review of the Kindle Fire for Wired:
There’s just one problem: Because cheaper Kindle models that feature e-ink screen technology are so much better suited to marathon reading sessions, I can’t imagine ever using the Fire to, say, knock out 200-plus pages of George R.R. Martin on a sunny Sunday afternoon. [...] The upshot is the Fire is not the Kindle version for someone who primarily wants to explore the wonders of e-books — well, at least not traditional e-books that focus on long-form prose.
Which is what I pretty much expected. If you want to read, get an e-ink Kindle. If you want the audio visuals, get a Fire. Better still, if you have the pennies or cents, get a delightful iPad 2.
Nothing has changed. You may remain seated.
