Post Amazon Kindle: Reviews Continue to Stack Up

Maybe this blog post should be titled, While you were sleeping. Over the past few hours, dozens more blog posts and Newspaper stories became available about the Kindle. I picked out four that contained information or commentary worth mentioning. Several of the posts were just links to Robert Scoble, another review, or simply links to Amazon Kindle products.
San Jose Mercury News
But my guess is that the Kindle will have modest success and won't become a bestseller. But it does point the way to the future of reading. As paper and other natural resources get more expensive, this is the obvious way to go, especially for students and school districts who are now burdened with heavy, expensive and often outdated text books. But if I were Jeff Bezos, I'd worry about Steve Jobs. It wouldn't take too many Apple programmers to turn an iPhone and an iPod into an iReader.
Monsters and Critics
The new Kindle e-book reader enters a relatively unpopular market arena alongside the likes of Sony’s PRS 505 Reader, the Bookeen Cybook V3, and the iRex Iliad.
The Oregonian
The real reason I can't recommend the Kindle is the battery issue. It's quite possible that Amazon could apply some simple fix, like a software upgrade, because the battery life is much shorter than its components seem to warrant.
Russell Beatttie
The Kindle is using Access NetFront to power the browser, and it seems like a combo of a basic mobile browser on the client with a server side proxy. It formats the markup as best as possible, but because there's no scrolling in the Kindle, it does break up normal sites into into insane numbers of pages.
