Here is the link:

At this link, you can give them your email in order to be notified when it is available. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks!

Anyone know why?

I convert my non-drm ebooks to ePub format using the free program calibre. You do have to have a web-connection to read the books, but I am thinking that pre-opening the chapters before I need to cut off the connection may work as well. You can also set it to open to the last chapter your read.

Not perfect, but I prefer it over the Classic method.

I have read books exclusively on a Palm device for almost a decade. And I read 2-3 novels (and a magazine) per month. That is many hours a day, all on a “3 inch display”.

I now find heavy dead tree books to be awkward. It is just what you are used to. Also, with eReader, you can search for text and look up words by tapping them. Not to mention carry hundreds of books everywhere you go.

I cannot wait for a Pre eReader. I don’t like using the eReader in the emulator.

However, have you ever tried to read for any length of time on a 3 inch display. Come on… I have a 2nd generation kindle with a 9 inch display and even that gets old after a while. Let’s be clear, e-readers or similar products are for emergency viewing only and that is exactly the scope, noting more, nothing less.

Based on that reaction it seems unlikely Amazon can move rapidly to bring Kindle to Pre or Android. :-(
