Kindling a Spark for Electronic Reading?

Amazon.com has just released Amazon Kindle, their new wireless, portable electronic reader. The $400 price tag is a bit steep, but that includes free wireless connectivity to the Amazon Kindle store. The Kindle holds up to 200 books, or you can also store your purchased books at Amazon and access them whenever you want. (Hmmm, seems like I posted on something similiar back in September.)

This has a lot of neat features, but I am still waiting for one tablet that will do it all – book reader, laptop, media player, internet access, etc. all in one paperback sized tablet. This seems like a step in the right direction, though. (Related series posted below.)

Media Access for the Next Generation:
1. Introduction
2. Immediate Access
3. Localized Storage
4. Subscription Services

Update: Gizmodo has a great article comparing Kindle with other E-Book Readers, past and future.
