Kindle will succeed only to the extent that Amazon will let it. It’s meant to do one thing extremely well. I’ve read five or six books on it so far and have five or six loaded in ready to go. The most I’ve read on a handle held is maybe a ten page memo. People used to see me reading my Kindle and ask me what it was. Now, more people tell me they love theirs and ask what do I think of mine.

Kindle will never succeed because its design is already a dinosaur. No one wants a single use device. You can read ebooks on a Treo 680 or any number of other smartphones as well, and you can get one for $125 new on eBay. It will organize your calendar, contacts, play games, let you do word processing, download the New York Times, be a telephone, an internet browser and an email client. With just one convergence device, you always have it in your pocket. How much will you read if you leave it home because you already have too much to carry? No one needs a Kindle at its ridiculous price. Get a convergence device that handles multiple functions.
