Ok, the idea is good. Finally, you can get books delivered to an e-book reader wirelessly and effortlessly. But Amazon’s Kindle has so many weak points that I don’t know where to begin (you can read about all the good sides just about everywhere else on the net).

It’s ugly as hell. It has unnecessary buttons. It’s too damn big. You can’t read it in the dark. Its screen is black and white. PDFs are not supported. There’s a web browser, but it’s in experimental stage (I expect a web browser on a device with a screen this big and with a net connection, and I expect it to work perfectly). You only get two fonts to choose from.

But, strike all those. I haven’t held the device in my hands, and my over-the-net impressions aren’t worth all that much. But there’s one thing I seriously don’t get.

It charges for blog subscriptions.

Why on Earth should I pay to read blogs which are free everywhere else? Plus, the blogs get a share of this money, which is probably why they’re all writing raving reviews about the device. Draw your own conclusions. I’ll stick to reading paper books for now, thank you.
