The Kindle is here

The Kindle is very cool.

Notwithstanding the Apple Corps members at my meeting -- readers of this blog, in fact -- last night who assured me that when Apple comes out with its tablet computer, it will kill the Kindle. You know who you are.

The point is, I don't want this damn thing to be a full-fledged computer. I want to read books on it. It doesn't have to be a Swiss Army Knife solution.

So far the only thing I dislike is the position of the HOME and PREV PAGE buttons. I would prefer them reversed. Sadly there is not even a software setting to do that.

I also understand that there is no way to organize books into folders, which when you think about it is pretty damn dumb, but I knew that before I bought the device.

Bottom line, it's a hell of a lot better platform for reading e-books than my Treo.
