Gives Flash, apps, videos, color magazines and ebooks with video inserts, and the best anti-glare coated screen on the market. Technology “giant” Amazon is finally catching up with the book store company by copying their device.

For their sake I hope it’s good!

Runs VERY well, thank you and doesn’t violate B&N’s warranty.

If they do that people will them like reading glasses at Costo!

Point is … it will be a success because Amazon will make it 1, regardless of initial price.

I’m sold with:
- $399 with $200 coupon for Amazon & Living Social.
- An app for text book reading with “highlight markers” and “sticky notes”.
Thank you for all the articles, Kevin.

Battery life: 12 hours tops and as thin as a ginsu knife!!!
