I wrote extensively about Amazon’s Kindle recently, and I finally decided to buy one. Apple didn’t release a tablet today – though they did upgrade the iMac, Mac mini, MacBook and other hardware – so I figured I’ve got at least a couple of months to use the Kindle before Apple comes out with a Kindle-killer.

I have the Kindle 2 since it was launched. I think it is a great device for book reading and some magazines. I tried to read the NYT on the device but I do not have a great experience.
The convenience of carrying several books in one small device is great.
