"Eventually, the idea is, that I could have any book we sell on-line in my hands in 60 seconds. "
Now that's interesting.
The main problem is that we have to take Bezos's word that the images are as good as he says they are. Unless I can go to Best Buy and test it, that's a bit of a gamble.
The other question I have is if you can back up the books to a hard drive. I find myself reading books years later. Would I be able to do that with this, even if I ended up with a different Kindle?
If the answer is yes, it'll further the movement away from me having STUFF to having bit and bytes. 95% of my possessions are CDs, DVDs, books, and comics after all.
