Kindle is Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device
Price needs to come down a little in my opinion to make it worth while, but this may have some advantages over using mobile phone if you're doing a lot of reading. First and foremost is the industrial design factor. Controls for this device are specifically tailored to make book, magazine, and newspaper reading as effortless as possible. Will be eager to try one out one day. At first glance, the buttons, jog wheels and odd bevels seem appropriate, but it's not sexy. Someone on Engadget commented that it looked like a calculator and should have a TI logo on it.
I'm wanting this kind of experience on the iPhone. I keep thinking of the little tablets I used to see on Star Trek. Hopefully someday.

hi ,
as i can see it has some advantages on mobile phones specially in controls
but mobile phones are now more spread and hence better priced than electronic paper devices.
also the multi usage of mobile phones and the smaller size make them more portable than electronic paper devices.
thanks

The idea is pretty cool, but I think there's a long way to go - and who needs it when you have cheaper laptops, and iphones which basically perform same features in just as small a package.
It is cool though, that it's a 'green' idea, in that less trees would be cut down.
