Loads of reviews point out that the over priced kindle dont have video – c’mon Dave!

Here even the BBC point out that lack of video is a problem http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8036436.stm

Dave,

They are right. The new, new kindle, with video was covered on Leo Laporte’s TWiT podcast here http://twit.tv/194 He’s really pissed, and is cancelling 2 kindle DX’s he has on order.

Dave,

Oh dear. I’m guessing you have not heard that the next Kindle model HAS video?

Video? I have to question the credibility of anyone who discusses video in an article about an e-book reader! It uses e-ink! Why would you think there would ever be video in the device? Have you ever used one? Though I have reserved a Kindle DX, I also feel the price is a bit high – yet it is lower than many competitors.

If you are looking for a device that plays video, why are you discussing ebook readers?

I agree with you: Excessively expensive.

Not expecting everybody to follow industry leaders, but other expensive devices —iPhone, PSP, cameras, etc— provide you with marvelous technology, and many more associated features, while this one is not only limited in its hardware marvel but also in its features.

I’ll wait for the consumer version.

I agree, while the idea of the kindle is great for the trees, the price is way too much, right now it is the culture of rich people, not normal people.

We want cheaper Kindle’s Amazon!!!
