Some say 10 but certain things make it more like 3. It goes down whether or not you use it, in time. <br /><br /> Your basic warranty covers battery replacement and shipping the first year. If you have an Amazon extended warranty, it covers it the 2nd year also. <br /><br /> The Kindle 2 looks to have locked in the #1 e-reader slot. I don't see how the iPad affects it. I use my netbook's Kindle for PC sometimes but there is just nothing like reading on the Kindle for ease on the eyes and a strange kind of calmness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-1383669597966800412010-01-26T17:32:46.621-08:002010-01-26T17:32:46.621-08:00The SD cards seemed to cause problems for tech sup...The SD cards seemed to cause problems for tech support - incompatability - people taking out cards and putting in new ones meant a lot of re-indexing and sometimes freezes or battery drain. It was in the K1 because it had almost no storage to speak of. I looked at mine the other day and it hat 57 megs left. No place for PDFs for sure.<br /><br /> The iPhone has a non-user-replaceable battery - they last for a long time. The thing is that the two disadvantages made for a slimmer unit, so it's a toss-up. Maybe they can design around that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-71143310388394977812010-01-07T12:05:09.428-08:002010-01-07T12:05:09.428-08:00Brian,

I just saw a video, and the colors are rather muted, but it's very clear, otherwise. Looks very magazine-like. It's on the same page as the story. Fast displays too.<br /><br /> At least a few months -- I think at that point they'd be ready to produce enough to start and then the device-makers have to be able to make it work with the device's programming, which would be modified for the new display's capabilities.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-44744293620537298472010-01-07T10:37:03.388-08:002010-01-07T10:37:03.388-08:00Having just gotten my Kindle 2 for Christmas, I wa...Having just gotten my Kindle 2 for Christmas, I was hoping it wouldn't be made "obsolete" by a killer Kindle 3 coming out within a few weeks. Looks like this display is several months away. Also, I've got to wonder what the price point will be.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035489123868573312noreply@blogger.com
