Amazon Kindle: The future of book reading

With everything going "e" and "m", it was only a matter of time before the Gutenbergian document migrated to the electronic world. The recently released Amazon Kindle is one of many devices (Sony Reader is another one) that are trying to iPodify the ancient habit of book reading and from the reviews in CNET it looks like it does succeed.

But as with music, it is again, only a matter of time before it gets bundled with cell phones just like the iPod got bundled with the iPhone.

At launch the Kindle was priced at $399 but as of May 27, 2008 it now retails for $359.
