The Kindle? Try kindling. I'm not buying.

I'm not linking to it, because if you know about the Kindle you don't need my help. If you have no idea, then you aren't missing anything.
After going over the reviews and Amazon video's here's my response:

1. Why is this thing 400 bucks? After dropping all that cash I want some sample content.
2. DRM. What happens to all your books after this service tanks and Amazon shuts it down? It's not like Apple's FairPlay where you can crack it using very simple techniques.
3. Money grabbing. Why are they charging for blogs?
4. Money grabbing. Why are they charging to translate documents to their propriety format? A simple web page could do this on the fly. And why not support plain, rich text and PDF?
5. Make this thing able to connect to local library systems to download the rent-able electronic books that are currently available only for Windows.
6. Do what Apple is trying to do with music, and make books available directly from independent publishers and people who are aspiring authors. What better way for the populace to access up and coming authors.
7. Oh, God, it's ugly!
8. Ditch the nasty, huge keyboard. I can't imagine I need that much space dedicated to a device meant for reading.
9. Oh, God, it's so ugly!
10. Oh, God, it's such an incredible ugly eyesore!

Thanks, but I'll stick with my Newton 2100. It's got beautiful fonts for reading, a soft back light, and supports multiple file formats.
