We all know the future in books is the digital and portable format (maybe) and Amazon, being one of the world biggest distributors knows it too (maybe) and they came up with the most extraordinary invention of all times (maybe), a digital reader.
It’s called Kindle and it just launched today, you can read about it on EndGadget, but you can see some pictures of it too before that!
Look at Jeff Bezos face, he is so proud!
Can someone remember this episode? the “homer-car”? looks like an “homer-car” situation on Jeff Bezos face there!
1990 is back!
We all know Mr.Bezos is one of the most brilliant minds out there, he is probably the first and ultimate entrepreneur and business owner for most of us, a living legend, but hey, this Kindle thing looks awful, no doubt about that either (just a personal note!). If they can make it look like an iPod (technology wise too) they won’t have any problem with it, but if not…
The “laundry soap” or Kindle, as Amazon called it, it has a built in WiFi connectivity and it can download books in a breeze, one of the smartest ideas ever (we are all tired of software install, download to the pc, etc).
Looks ugly even up-close!
We really hope they can make it look better (maybe not 2008 if they don’t want to go that far, but they could use some 1995 radios as design base! they can really benefit from those ones! anything better than this thing!) and we know they will in the future. It will be beautiful and easy to use. Even the software inside looks ugly (they didn’t had 37signals on their pocket? maybe is time to use some of those talents there hey…)
Kindle is promising, it is what’s coming, and you saw it first here, at clear.your.mind. Tell your kids!
