Steve Gibson Gives The Kindle 5 Stars
I was reading Kindle reviews on the Amazon site and I noticed a rather lengthy review by a guy named Steve Gibson. My first thought was “hmm, I wonder if this is the Steve Gibson from Security Now”, a frequent guest on many technology shows and a pioneer in the field.
I didn’t have to wonder long because he answered my question in the second paragraph of the review. Here’s a quote from the beginning of the review:
This is less a “pros and cons” review than a hopefully useful commentary about the Kindle compared with other eReaders and what it means for the eBook industry. (I believe that everything has changed with the Kindle’s creation.)
For many years I have been an avid reader of eBooks using almost every eReading device on the market. So as an early-adopter of techie gadgets I had been anxiously awaiting Amazon’s Kindle since its first rumors. So I immediately purchased it both out of curiosity and hoping for a better “next generation” eBook solution. In case you’re wondering whether I’m “that” Steve Gibson, I probably am — I’m the guy who gets Google’s first three or four links when Googling my name.
You can read the rest over at the Amazon site. The Kindle really seems to be the device of the future.
