Launch the Kindle already!
The more people who like this idea, the more it gets noticed.

Inappropriate?The Kindle is going to be awesome for textbooks. I almost wish I was in school again just to NOT have to carry around all those massive tomes.
I’m feeling old

Inappropriate?yep. nobody will notice this product catagory until Jobs launches the "iBook" in a couple years which will be the equivalent of the 3G/wifi connected Sony Reader.
this will be a killer app- the market for newspapers/magazines/books is a lot bigger than the music market-and it is a lot more fragmented so the content provider doesn't need to get 90% of the profits.
my favorite rss newsreader is apps.facebook.com/mionews. would much rather read my daily morning news on a kindle/ibook than a laptop or having to wait for my mercury news to be delivered...
speaking of which-would be cool to be able to tag this thread with another company-this would be a relevant thread on Apple, Sony, etc. pages too-"Apple: launch an iBook!" in fact, i think i'll make this post over there.
would love to make "Apple: please launch the iBook" be a "cause" on facebook and get all my friends to amplify that through their social networks.

this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?It's funny, I've never considered the relative sizes of markets for printed material vs. music--how much of this market size is based on the direct sales of published works vs. advertising?
Also, good idea about tagging topics across companies. Satisfaction is rolling out a number of features that allow this kind of thing to happen very fluidly. And stay tuned for help on your Facebook wishlist item.
I’m learning something here
