Goldilocks and the Kindle!

I just tore open my highly anticipated back ordered Kindles. Yes, we ordered 2 here at the library to play with. My instant thought is that the Kindle to the mobile librarian is like Goldilocks to Baby Bear... a perfect, comfortable, long awaited fit.

Libraries have been trying to figure out the perfect device for a long while. The first batches of PDA's were too small, laptops too large, tablets still too clunky... even the new iTouches from Apple are a bit too small especially when it comes to trying to type URLs, search terms, etc.
But the Kindle is just right... the text on the electronic paper is crisp, there is a small but easy to use "keyboard," and the device is oober-light weight.

Now, we just need to convince Amazon to open this puppy up for full wireless capabilities and the potential is huge. Currently, the device is really only for reading ebooks with limited online access.

Mine is only 10 minutes fresh out of the box, so back to playing. I just had to share my initial feedback.
