Because it more powerful then Ipod and Iphone that's why it is going to be hottest product of 2010.

The biggest drawback to Kindle for me (and Kindle for iPhone even more so) is that it's not good on illustrations. IBooks may be able to deliver much better image quality than Kindle. This will probably make it a great platform for the next generation of textbooks, but it won't give the iBooks store any advantage over Kindle on straight-text books. And we know commercial fiction is the most popular category of e-book right now. <br /><br />Scott, it seems unlikely to me that Apple would drop the Kindle app from iPad. Not only would there be an outcry from consumers, there are antitrust issues raised by that--which already flared up when they blocked the Google Voice app for iPhone. <br /><br />But see my next post for a key new development on this point.Peter Ginnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678504299313188170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316886317870996102.post-48186098995606580282010-01-29T10:13:38.007-05:002010-01-29T10:13:38.007-05:00This occurred to me too.

Amazon is stuck here--until they produce a device that can display color books with additional features, they can't include that kind of material in their files. So: will full-color ebooks be sufficiently exciting to draw the extra $5 from consumers? We'll see.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632307246555124407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316886317870996102.post-310328648347126852010-01-29T08:34:27.283-05:002010-01-29T08:34:27.283-05:00not really an apple fan, but if ipad to be availab...not really an apple fan, but if ipad to be available @ mac store at my country... well i'll buy it. kinda hassle to buy kindle from amazon.vsgroundhttp://voltage-stabilizer-grounding.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316886317870996102.post-60400315674447577812010-01-29T07:26:19.803-05:002010-01-29T07:26:19.803-05:00I have the Kindle App for my iPhone and enjoy it v...I have the Kindle App for my iPhone and enjoy it very much.

They are very busy to censor the content on Itunes already. <br />Will Henry Miller be available on the IPAD ever? :).Papierfliegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006399662058810780noreply@blogger.com
