Paperless Books Are Here

I'm not ready to give up REAL books anytime soon, but I love this idea and would definitely consider using it for travel or commuting. New releases can be ordered for about $10 so you don't have to buy the hardcover and schlep it all over.

If you keep it with you, you can buy a book on the spot when you get a recommendation, which is great because I always write a title down and lose it immediately. Here's some product highlights:

High-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper.
no computer, no cables, no syncing.
Wireless connectivity enables you to shop the Kindle Store directly from the Kindle
Buy a book and get it wirelessly in less than one minute.
Over 150,000 books available

This thing costs almost four hundo so it better not break! And I do hope they won't re-release every 6 months like Apple....
