No, the books are only readable in the kindle. From my perspective, that’s no different from a paper book. It does allow copying sections into an email to others.

I know it’s not very conceivable from your end, Sean … but you gotta remember, I finish a book every few days.

It has a pretty competent web browser and can read html files you copy to it, so … really, that’s good enough for me.

What?! you bought that thing?

Can you actually use the books for anything else than the kindle? what if you wanna copy and paste a paragraph? is there a computer reader too? heh

Just read this comparison of e-book readers, and I gotta say, both the comparison itself and some of the comments are pretty inspiring. There’s even someone saying it’s not nearly as ugly in person as it is in photos! :) And you’re right, you can’t beat the weight.

Being a slow reader, I can’t imagine wanting one before the iPho^H^H^H^H price comes down, but the way you go through books, I can see where this is very attractive. Here’s hoping it’s as sexy as it sounds.
