Kindle Review

Thursday on Dealnews.com, media edit, Jeff Somogyi shared an open letter he sent regarding his impressions of the new Kindle DX.

Summarizing, Mr. Somogyi pointed out the Kindle is marketed to the upper income population. Parent and college students usually don't have the resources to $500.00 for an electronic device dedicated to only one function, displaying books. And the price does not include the price for the actual books. Also, the Kindle DX is in black and white. According to Mr. Somogyi if Amazon is serious, the Kindle will have to do color. Color is a necessity in books to view graphs and pictures. Color illustrations are the ingredient that brings life to many books. Mr. Somogyi continues to reveal other deficiencies of the Kindle throughout the course of his letter.
