Amazon Kindle Comes To Target This Sunday

,----[ Quote ]
| It's about time that Amazon gave potential 
| Kindle customers a little try-before-you-buy 
| time. Target Corporation announced today that 
| it will carry Amazon's popular e-reader in 
| all of its stores starting Sunday June 6.

Amazon Kindle International Edition

| Audio file support is limited to MP3 and
| Audible, and the music player, such as it
| is, does nothing more than play MP3 files in
| the order they happen to be in the Kindle's
| music folder. There is no UI of any sort to
| manage music content but you can sync
| content via an MTP media player. Both the
| music player and text-to-voice feature are
| currently housed in the "Experimental" menu,
| which suggests they may be improved by
| future firmware updates.

| Assuming you plan on buying all your books
| from Amazon, won't miss a decent music
| player and don't have any ePub files you
| want to read, the Kindle should satisfy. The
| screen is good, it's easy to use and, file
| support aside, the features list is up with
| the best of the competition. The problem is
| that if you live outside the US, Amazon will
| happily take your money but treat you like a
| second-class citizen. And if you do buy your
| books from Amazon, you're stuck with its e-
| readers no matter what else comes along from
| the likes of Sony, iRiver or Samsung.
