Well I an getting sick and tired of hearing Apple this and Apple that. It’s like the name walmart.I hate walmart for what it’s done to the mom and pop store owners. Is apple wanting to do the same thing ?

I agree about the e-ink. If apple had e-ink maybe i’d consider it, but Im all set trying to read a book on lcd…try that in direct sunlight or even better, try to read for an hour on an lcd vs an hour looking at e-ink.

Mike, it is a good point. We don’t know if Apple are going to do a Pixel Qi and have both eInk (or eInk style reading) and LCD modes or whether it’ll be an iphone screen.

The Kindle is going to keep improving – the Nook and the favoritism to the Nook by the Press (until it came out and they had to admit it wasn’t the JesusReader) has scared Amazon.
Even little changes like adding ability to add kindle books to wishlists and adding permanent delete are a sign that Amazon are working really hard on the Kindle.

If you’re waiting to see the New Apple Reader Tablet you might have Kindle 3 to consider by the time the Tablet comes out.

Wonder how many people are like me, holding off on buying ANY eReader until we see what kind of hat Apple tosses into the ring. As someone with over-40-year-old eyes, I gotta have eInk and an adjustable font with a glare-free display. Once it is known for certain that Apple won’t provide that, the only thing I’m waiting for is to see Kindle’s response to the Nook and Sony touch features and format variety (assuming it has already solved the PDF issue).

Yea, I think this is another case of the “multi-purpose” device that will solve everything. I love my iPhone, but I only read on it when I get trapped in a line or something and I was not expecting to need my Kindle. Heck, the Kindle App was the reason I bought the thing (like you I now love it for a huge variety of reasons). That doesn’t mean I want to read on it for more than 15-20 minutes or so at a time.

I guess this is still readers versus casual readers. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that the publishing companies will cater to the wrong group.

I want everyone to get paid…it’s in my best interests as a voracious reader. I want my favorite writers to keep writing, and I want to find new favorite writers. Heck, I’m planning on replacing at least 50% of my physical books with eBooks. That’s new money. However, now I feel as if I should wait and make sure that the market shakes out properly. I thought I’d already waited long enough to do that (I just got my Kindle in July).

I think the much more important issue is why on earth is Apple calling their supposed reader a TABLET?

What on earth is up with that name. That is my biggest pet peeve with it. (so far)

Yes, I agree. I still don’t understand all the fuss with the Apple Tablet. I actually thought the Apple Tablet was competing with the netbook (laptop) market rather than eReaders. Why would anyone want to read a book for hours on end on a LCD screen? And why would any consumer with an Apple iPhone want an Apple Tablet as well – yet another data plan? I agree with Andrew – LCD for reading? Forget it.
