Daring Fireball: Amazon's New Kindles →
E-ink feels peaceful to me. The Kindle doesn’t feel like a computer. It feels — not to the touch but to the eyes and mind — like a crudely-typeset and slightly smudgily-printed paper book. That’s a good thing.
Absolutely true.
A brilliant piece by Gruber on the new Kindles, although I don’t share his feelings on the low-entry Kindle. I do believe they matter a lot and I am yet to see the real benefits of Touch on a device that has minimal user interaction.
And the price of the non-Touch Kindle will, eventually, be free or nearly as much, and the ubiquity of it will do wonders for Amazon and their core-business: selling books.
