Triple dog date ya! - Fee501st

OMG that is awesome!! :) - Susan Beebe

Mike Rowe is the only person that my wife could leave me for, and I still might not end up hating him for it. - midnightgolfer

Please do yourself a favor and watch this video. - James Tallman

hmm - Josh Haley

I have both, the iPhone happily downloaded all my existing books within minutes over 3G. This app is adequate for occasional use, but it doesn't compare to the Kindle in terms of overall reading experience because of the lack of battery life on the iPhone (due to backlit screen). The only significant advantage is the faster-page-turning. But hey, I don't have my Kindle with me everywhere, and this gives me access to a lot of content wherever I am. - G. Sigh

I love it. The Kindle would naturally always be my device-of-choice to read a digital book, but if I don't have it with me, or if the battery dies unexpectedly, it's great to just pull out my iPhone (which I *always* have with me) and read for 5 minutes while in line. There are (of course) things I'd change about the iPhone app, especially not having to flick my finger with every page... more... - Kevin Fox

I think it would be fantastic if publishers could attach their own fonts to their books. Books are about more than just words, and if they cant control the paper, size, or presentation of illustrations, they should at least be able to have some measure of control over typography. And users should be able to override it if they choose. - Kevin Fox

I'd be more excited if it was sold in countries outside the US. - James Polley

The Kindle doesn't support the fonts used in the original book? That's disappointing. In my perfect world, not only would the Kindle be a touch-screen, but it would be pretty much the physical equivalent to O'Reilly's SafariBooksOnline. I want it to look precisely like the printed version. - Akiva Moskovitz

Exactly Akiva. Book design is an art and electronic books should display that art. (And be free from DRM). Why not use PDF, one of Adobe's finest technologies? - LogEx

PDFs resize well if they are designed well. They don't re-flow, so not good for smaller devices. But the kindle is book-sized. - LogEx

That's exactly what I said. PDF preserves design when resizing (scaling), but it doesn't re-flow. Kindle supports TXT, PDF, and HTML (but the Kindle format with DRM is an abomination). - LogEx

in Europe only british drive on the right side - Ale♫nastrorosa

no Alessandra, in Europe only the brits drive on the WRONG side! (brits drive on the left, everyone else, including the swiss, on the right) - Michele Campeotto

Isn't Ireland in Europe? - Brian Sullivan

yeah, ok, and the Irish :) - Michele Campeotto

I wrote it once, then I cut/paste. I should probably look at what I said about myself sometime - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

I've had several friends ask me to write their bio's for them. They give me the details and I make it sound all snarky and fun and not written in the first person. I'll give her a go, if you like. And or 10% of whatever you make off of whatever you're posting your bio on... :-D Okay, we can negotiate that part. I'll be happy to take 15%. ;-) - Lisa L. Seifert

Because if it looked like Outlook everyone one would immediately claim it was horrible. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

Ace! - Kol Tregaskes

why outlook, anyway, it looks clumsy, scrolls dont work properly, looks like a very early beta of gmail.. so a watchlist candidate for future. - Yunus Tunak

What do you think about security? (!) - Uğur Çelenk

I would rather use a popped out chrome tab - Sarah Perez

Air is a valid desktop option for any web service, http://www.refreshingapps.com/, security is not primarily an issue until someone abuses it.. not 2 much different from giving password to meebo or similar services. - Yunus Tunak

I uninstalled immediately after using it. It didn't show all my labels and email conversations were seperated. - LouCypher
