No, I expect the same as ANY OTHER ebook reader that doesn’t use the e-ink software. .
There are MANY other ebook readers that are years older and hundereds of dollars less than the kindle that have seamless page turning. .
Even the smartphone I use now (a cell phone, not at all made for FPS games) has seamless page turning in 10 diffrent ebook reading programs. . The kindle is useless feature rich, but when it comes to funcion, it is worse than readers a third the price and years older.
“I mean does anyone buy books that’s not from Amazon?”
Yes, of course.
Google “free ebooks”
or search “ebooks” on eBay.
You can buy something like 17,000
(yes, that’s seventeen THOUSAND)
public domain books on DVD for around $30. 00
and stick them in your Kindle.
i like books more! their great new paper smell, their nice spines and covers. It’s nice to see peoplle on the subway reading a book and starting a conversation about the book, because you’ve also read it.
I love doing into a book store and look at the different colors of the book covers and I also like that every book is unique.
When you change pages on any e-ink device (kindel is one) the screen flashes, it goes black for half a second, then renders the next page. It is very lame.
If you want an ebook reader get an ebookwize
If you want a wireless downloading handheld, get a smartphone. (HTC or something as good)
I enjoyed your video, If you need help getting your video exposed i use a service at Tubeviews . Net They offer views, ratings, and comments. They helped my video get ranked on the first page
You know Electronic books is a great concept, but it lacks the ability to network all the other companies together so that people can universally use the device they like, I mean does anyone buy books that’s not from Amazon?
It actually has a web browser built in but it is “experimental” and uses the page forward/back buttons to scroll up/down. . .
It also doesn’t support some things on websites
The review is actually incorrect. You don’t actually have to pay to download content or to convert content, only if you want to have it converted and ‘directly’ sent to your kindle. You can have books converted for free and download to your computer, then transfer to your kindle using usb, exactly the way the sony reader works. So basically you can use it like the sony reader, or you can have the convenience of wireless transfer. And wireless books sell with no extra cost for transfer.
The Sony PRS-500 has been out for over a year now. In addition, it can display both txt and rtf files without conversion. I believe the Kindle can display txt and prc(unencrypted mobipocket) files.

lol what did you expect? 0. 0001 ms response time? this is a device for reading books not for playing fps games!!!
It would be a great device if only it would be cheaper.

Me neither, however wifi on the kindle is free.
you’re only able to browse Amazon and wikipedia though. . .
November 30th, 2009 at 4:34 am
There is a way to get the kindle to work on mac as well.
Ofcourse one can upload books just like on a USB device,and will be viewable on all OS’es.
you just don’t have the wifi,and perhaps blogs or newspaper updates.

Sony Reader wins. I don’t care much for wireless download if they are gonna cost me.
November 30th, 2009 at 6:14 am
Sony Reader requires M$ WinDoze. . . YUCK!
Kindle has no OS requirements. . . MMMMM!
November 30th, 2009 at 6:55 am
sony reader is better, because you can put your personal content on it from your computer hassle free.
