The Kindle: aka worst electronic device ever

I won't even bother linking to it, as the sheer thought of it makes me want to vomit. Essentially, it's a device that, in theory, lets you read written content much as you would a book.

This is one of the worst products I have ever seen. Let's go over the major problems:

1)Initial price. 400 bucks? You kidding me? Put some *gulp* advertisements in the programming, or something. That's ridiculous. The PS3 is now 400 bucks.

2)DRM. What. The. Fuck. You are now paying 10 bucks to rent a book? You can't resell it, return it, transfer it, etc. I call shenanigans.

3)Pricing for content: the whole point of digital distribution is that it should be cheaper. You don't have to pay for chopped down trees. So, why is this more expensive than a used book I can have shipped to me? And I can't resell it, which makes the problem even worse!

4)Esoteric formats: No .pdf compatibility? That might have actually made this thing worthwhile for a workplace setting. You have to use some DRM infested proprietary, or unpopular, nonsense? No thanks.

5)Fragility: Books are sturdy. If this is intended for the casual consumer, it is going to break within a year. Take a look at what a used book looks like. People apparently use them to prop up table legs, soak up motor oil, and stem blood loss when they aren't reading.

6)Limited Content: there isn't much on here, and there probably never will be, given the limited ability to put your own content, in whatever file format you want, on it. The high price might, might, have been justifiable if you could get out of print rare magazines or books on it. That would have been the one saving grace for this piece of shit device, but alas, twas not to be.
