I was discussing the Kindle recently with business partner Steve Jones and while we both like the idea of having a portable reader, the $400 price tag - even when you consider the potential savings on books for buying e-version only - just seems too high, and that trumps any discussion of features! The discussion caused me to look around a little and I found a nice blog called TeleRead that also has a post about One Laptop Per Child, one of my current interests.. If you're interested in ebooks it's worth adding your list. Also found a post about the controversy around display options on Jeff Duntemanns blog where he says PDF would work just fine, it's all in the rendering. I first read Jeff many years ago when he was the editor of PC Techniques and he's always struck me as thoughtful - somehow had not made it to my blog list, but that's corrected now!

Fascination with technology aside, these devices could change the world. It'll also be interesting to see if the DRM issue becomes as challenging in the book space as it has been for music.
