There is plenty of competition for the ipad and Kindles out there, all major manufacturers will be launching handheld devices in the run up to Christmas, benefit for the consumers is that there will be plenty to choose from and lower prices :)

It's interesting to see how these technologies look several years down the road. For instance, Kindle vs iPad

I agree that the kindle is a great piece of technologie. I work a lot on events all over the country. that means traveling every day. With Kindle it is possible to read books everywhere (even on the toilet!).

I think you were wrong about one thing though: by asking people on twitter for their opinion, you may GET lots of answers, but what you GIVE is attention and acknowledgement. In these days of "staccato signals of constant information" , that means alot.

My wife likes her Kindle cover by Bobarra. They aren't bulky and it protects and holds the Kindle expertly; a smart design. Wishing we would have waited for the new Kindle 2 though...

I have a kindle and it is really good. The screen is like paper.

Any post that manages to bring together twitter, the Beatles, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin is a great one, I think.

Hi, Andrew Mcafee is a really cool blog and Kindle is just antother example of the great debates and coversations we find in your blog, I am working with a travel company doing accommodation inspections through out Europe which is a cool job but right now I am on a ferry to amsterdam and a little bored so reading your Kindle blog post has cheered me up a lttle and kept the old brain ticking, I will be trying it out and I will let you's know what I think but in the mean time keep the posts coming, cheers

I've been contemplating purchasing a Kindle for the same reasons you enjoy yours. I also like the idea of reducing the amount of paper used for my reading. I believe it's time that I give it a try. I'll definitely pickup a cover from Bobarra. They look great.

I've heard about the Amazon Kindle. Guess it should be amazing. I simply don't like reading books on the computer screen. Doesn't give the reading-a-book-effect. Not seen an e paper; but guess it shouldn't be hard on your eyes like the LCD display.

ah, Kindle...i just dont get it... seems like it would be easier to just put your book-on-tape onto your ipod - then theres really one less thing to carry AND one less electronic device to purchase... I wonder if it will still be around in five years.

I think Twitter is on many people's favorite list of 2008. I have been been following your tweets for some time now I want to let you know I enjoy them thoroughly. Happy New Year!

While all the data was not accurate it at least supplied some visibility into what was going on.

So is it that the web 2.0 technologies are bringing out the universal brotherhood in man?

Or, was it the urge to create a universal brotherhood that laid the foundation for web 2.0 style social computing?

Andy, I stumbled on your tweets through the folks I follow. I started following you directly a while back and am quite happy about it. You are able to mix business and industry content with a sense of humor that makes twitter work. I find that I tend to follow those that tweet about 'my content interests', but include enough of their personality to keep it interesting. Now I find myself checking your blog directly. Thanks for your contributions.

Great use of quotes.

I share your view on Twitter's largely supportive community. It seems like people will do the right thing when it's easy enough, and what could be easier than 140 characters?

Also, I've been holding off on the Kindle because I tend to just load up my iPhone with good articles in my Instapaper account, but I've heard too many smart people (yourself included) rave about the Kindle to hold off much longer. I think it'll be my 30th b-day present to myself in March. And a good opportunity to get one of the Bobarra cases you mentioned.
