Colour e-readers coming soon

[sasguru]

Santa (well Mrs sas) was kind enough to give me a Kindle this Christmas.
If you are a serious reader, its well worth it.
It fits in my coat breast pocket, one charge lasts for days, with the 3G version you can get a book instantly 365/24/7.
The display is great and easy on the eye.

The only disadvantages I have found:

1. Reading pdfs with 2 columns per page is not that great. You have to resize the screen, then scrolling across is a pain.
I haven't managed to find a comfortable way of doing this yet

2. Maths symbols don't format correctly sometimes. Not sure if this an instrinsic problem with the Kindle standard or simply a bad implementation in these particular cases.

But if you read "normal" books regularly, it's a must have.

it's kind of an oxymoron, in 2011, to read a headline that 'Kindle' is going to come out in colour - wow woopee doo

I think you mean an anachronism

I gotta say folks,

I don't really 'get' this e-reader Kindle crap stuff

What I don't get is...

why to buy some black and white e-reader crap, why not buy a IPAD and have everything and read pdf versions of books ?

where does the e-reader fit in ?

and from what I see they ain't cheap neither

if I was in the market for something like that i'd get a IPAD.

An IPAD doesn't fit in your pocket.
And the Kindle is meant for intelligent readers, you know the kind who read long books with big words and complex ideas in them. So its not for you really.

Base iPad is 4X as expensive as base Kindle, and hurts your eyes.
