Kindle 3?

Interesting, Amazon is showing the Kindle 2 as being "temporarily out of stock" and they will email you as soon as it's available.

Hmmmm, does this mean that a Kindle 3 release is imminent??

I'm not sure what feature could be introduced to really intice me to get a new one... other than for the sake of having a "new" on and giving mine to Charlotte! I rather like the dark gray bezel that the new DX has, might make it a little easier on the eyes - especially at night.

Anyway, it's exciting to watch and see what happens!

Audio books

Has anyone tried an audio book on their Kindle??? I have a deal for a free download from audible.com. I think I'll pick a book next week and see how it goes. But I have to admnit that I usually tell Mike that listeing to audio books does not really constitute real 'reading'!

Kindle 3 Thoughts

Now that I've been using the Kindle for a little while, I have to say I love it!

I'm watching the online rumor postings regarding a new version, but I have to say it would have to offer a really outstanding new feature to warrant getting a new one. That new feature might be the ability to download or transfer the ePub file type.

Hennepin County Library started lending eBooks this past Monday - however Kindle does not support the file format. there does appear to be a converter provided through Mobi, but I'm a bit hesitant to try it.

I think Amazon will have to adopt the ePub file format soon, since that is the dominant format.
