Het is weer tijd voor de traditionele top-10 lijstjes. De Kindle e-reader van Amazon eindigt op de achtste plaats van de top-10 gadget lijst van Time Magazine. De ebook reader is daarmee in 2008 werkelijk mainstream geworden, althans in de VS.
“Amazon unveiled its digital-book reading device at the end of 2007, but in such small quantities that you couldn’t really get one until 2008. While it definitely takes some getting used to — the awkward placement of the page-forward and page-back buttons makes it easy for newbies to lose their place — this is simply a terrific tool for people who love to read books. Travelers will especially enjoy the luxury of taking a veritable library on the road, and the Kindle can connect to a high-speed cellular network that delivers books ($9.99, even for new titles) on demand.”
