You really should be reading Matthew Battle’s blog. Here’s a post on the WikiReader. Check out the comments. I’ve held off on the Kindle and will hold off on the Nook, because if I buy it now, I’ll want to upgrade by next at least by the end of the year. Compare this to the iPhone, which was set to go right out the gates. I got the iPhone in autumn 2007 and only upgraded a few months ago due to water damage. That’s almost two years with the original device. But the primary e-reader, Kindle or whatever it may be, will look and feel very, very different in two years. It had a bumpy start with too many problems and frustrated users. Right now, I’d almost much prefer something like the WikiReader, since it won’t be antiquated by 2011. Meanwhile, here is Tim Carmody on the possibility of a dedicated blog reader. I have a french press, a moka pot, and a drip coffee maker and I use all three of them regularly. I hope in the future there are affordable e-readers I can use depending on the reading and reading experience I’m looking for.
