Comments on: Gadget Review: Amazon’s Kindle http://mediavorous.com/archives/gadget-review-amazons-kindle A blog about where culture, new media, marketing and community collide... in people's heads. Tue, 28 Sep 2010 09:14:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: CJ http://mediavorous.com/archives/gadget-review-amazons-kindle/comment-page-1#comment-30314 CJ Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:05:29 +0000 http://mediavorous.com/?p=230#comment-30314 A fellow Kindle owner here - I enjoyed your review, but I have to say I'm in the minority that doesn't want many changes in the next generation Kindle. Sure, being able to read magazines in color would be nice, but I don't want the screen to become like a computer screen. I certainly don't want the Kindle to be more like the iPhone. If I wanted an iPhone, I'd buy an iPhone. Side note: Shelly Palmer's story appears to be an episode of "The King of Queens" where the character Spence (played by the hilarious comedian Patton Oswalt) gets a TiVo. It gets even funnier after he tries to record sports to "reset it" and it records figure skating and gymnastics. It's actually based on a stand-up routine Oswalt did.

Your review convinced me I absolutely do *not* want the Kindle anytime soon. And you should know I laughed embarrassingly loud (particularly for the quiet office I am in) on the retelling of Shelly Palmer's story. I'm guessing a lot of SpikeTV was required to turn the TiVo around. Thank you, Brad. Your review convinced me I absolutely do *not* want the Kindle anytime soon.
