The good: Excellent high-contrast screen does a great job of
simulating a printed page; large library of tens of thousands of e-
books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs via Amazon's familiar
online store; built-in free wireless "Whispernet" data network--no PC
needed; built-in keyboard for notes; SD card expansion slot;
compatible with Windows and Mac machines.
The bad: Design is ergonomic, but not very elegant; pricing for
nearly all the content seems too high, especially considering the
periodicals and blogs are available for free online; black-and-white
screen is fine for books, but less impressive for periodicals and Web
content; lacks a true Web browser; included cover is clumsy and
poorly designed; additional file formats need to be e-mailed to
Amazon for conversion; yet another dedicated device you'll need to lug
around with you.
The bottom line: With its free built-in wireless capabilities and PC-
free operation, Amazon's Kindle holds a distinct advantage over
Sony's Reader and is a promising evolution of the electronic book--but
Amazon needs to bring down the pricing for both the device and the
content to attract a wider audience
