Techcrunch- Michael Arrington. 11/21/2007
The Kindle can be given some slack since web browsing isn’t its core function. But web browsing on the iPhone isn’t the key feature of that device, either. Amazon just didn’t design a good device (the user interface, keyboard and screen are all very flawed), and they had all the time in the world to get it right. Hopefully v.2 will be an improvement.
I think Amazon definitely has a chance to really disrupt the book market in many ways. Since the already have an online distribution and sales platform the product already has an audience and supply chain. I would like to see some improvements on the UI as well as hardware interface.
