the Kindle reminds me of something i saw in an old school Star Trek episode, which is a good selling point… and it’s so thin!

How about e-books for $3.99 in amazing 3D page-turning technology, using DRM? Available now at http://www.FrugalFiction.com. No, you can’t read ‘em on your phone, Ipod, whatever, just your PC and laptop. Affordable, the reader’s free, and the books aren’t boring PDF style. Amazon, Sony, etc. are targeting the gadget group. How about just offering good books at reasonable prices so the masses can enjoy reading?

Price is not so determinant as the need for a killer app. Kindle comes close, but the proprietary aspects are an obstacle. What eReaders really need are eBooks written by eBook authors that will create an experience impossible to duplicate in print. (Think eBay.) If it provides a unique experience, price of the device will be no object and then it becomes a matter of determining what the digital content will cost. I would guess quite a bit cheaper than publishers or distributors like Amazon would hope. Digital content is a low margin-high volume business. See iTunes and ripping CDs. We will need a micropayments service and some content will given away.

After reading a side by side comparison of the Amazon Kindel vs. The Sony Reader, the AmazonKindle is clearly the winner here because ultimately it’s about content as much as the device itself. Sony simply doesn’t have the content and won’t ever. Look at it this way, would the iPod have been nearly as successful without iTunes?

Amazon will get the kinks out of this reader and will own the market by end of 2009.

If I buy a Sony Reader can I buy eBooks from Amazon for the $9.99 vs eConnect's $20 for the same title and read them on the Sony or is the file format totally different? (I know the Sony doesn't have wireless. I don't care. It seems like a better reading device for book lovers.)
