Miscellanea Kindle 2

“Our vision is every book ever printed, in any language, all available in less than 60 seconds.”

Jeff Bezos at Kindle 2 launch. That's a hell of a vision!

Also: the Kindle GUI seems to me very Macintosh-like, with rounded outlined buttons and all. Nice.

Even the video is narrated close to Apple's style... :)

That's kinda funny because Jobs himself is not a huge fan of Kindle concept:

It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore. Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.

But then again, even if he's right, Amazon is primarily about selling books, be that electronic or hardcopy.
