Amazon Announces New, Improved Kindle in Black

Great spec update but... WHY did they remove the number keys? That was one of the biggest complaints that DX owners (me included) had that Kindle 1/2 owners didn't... and now it's applicable to the Kindle 3 as well. It's hard enough to create notes as it is without some of the other punctuation keys (commas, question marks, parentheses etc).

I never thought designs could take a step backward, but Amazon has proven me wrong.

its still seems like far too much money for a very unifuntional device.

its another device to have to carry around, and though i would love to own one, my iPod touch is a perfectly capable e reader, and its always in my pocket.

i just wouldn't want to pay more than 50 bucks for one of these. but i also couldn't care less about internet access. its not often that im away form home and struck by the sudden need to instantly read a book that has just popped into my head.

I'll stick with my netbook.
