The Kindle isn't for research. It's for reading. Just plain reading. And for most people, it's a great replacement for a stack of books they carry around. I don't think anyone's really trying to make it more than an eBook reader with some very basic search for purchasing content.
- stcredzero 17y agoThis is exactly my point. A different device with a similar form factor, but with different display capabilities can capture an entirely different market!
- blhack 17y agoI just want to clarify: You are saying that a device other than the kindle, would service a market other than the one that the kindle does?
- stcredzero 17y agoA device with greater interactivity than the Kindle could service markets that the Kindle cannot. The market could well be a hardware market. (As opposed to the Kindle which is a driver of demand for content.) I'm interested in being able to display full-page daylight-readable content that I collate and generate, and manipulate it quickly and interactively. I'm certain that many others have similar needs, or will discover such uses once these are available.
