Amazon unveils Kindle 2.0

Thumb Down

I already burnt my fingers buying ebooks

I read books on my Palm PDA and it's fine. Great in the underground when there's hardly any elbow room and in the cinema for something to do during the ads and trailers cos it't readable in the dark. There are plenty of out-of-copyright books available free. I did get tempted a few years ago to buy a couple of ebooks but never finished reading them. When I went to read them a month of so ago they asked me for my credit card number, and I can't remember what card I was using all that time ago when I bought them, so money down the drain. I bought the books but now I don't have them, I haven't passed them to a friend or given them to Oxfam. Just money wasted. I will not be buying any more ebooks, and it isn't clear to me why I would want to carry a gadget like this with me when I already have my Palm.
