Wired and the World Weighs In On Amazon's Kindle

Bruce Sterling over at Wired has put together this collection of negative design critiques of the new Amazon Kindle e-book device, from Adam Greenfield. The list is a great read, but if you do a search, you’ll likely be able to find half a million discussions about the thing, also about as negative as Greenfield’s (though the tide has turned a bit, with exceptions like over at 37signals and reviews like this). As luck would have it, we got a chance to take a look at one today and while we thought it was pretty cool to look at (which we usually do with nearly every piece of new technology that comes out, no matter how pointless), after having seen it, this writer at least is going to join the camp that doesn’t see much future in the device.
