Amazon’s Kindle and iPhone/iPod app have made a lot of headlines lately.

For on-the-go reading, I may be okay with using iPod, but Kindle 2 is designed to be much easier to read than most backlit LCD screens so for serious and at-length reading, I would take Kindle 2 in general.

However, while I am very interested in Kindle, I am still waiting for these books to be DRM free. It’s just so much easier and “thought-free” when I don’t have to worry about DRM and how I use something.

Speaking of DRM-free, Amazon does have an awesome MP3 store that is DRM-free with a large selection and often good prices. It would be nice if they had the same thing with books.

On the note about Amazon, I recently came across an interesting table that details the discounts on Amazon.

It is at http://www.uberi.com

Maybe someone will find it useful too.
