Amazon Kindle using E-Ink

The Amazon Kindle, it's already sold out as I write this. (?!)
It does look a little like an Eighties Cellphone doesn't it? Never the less, I (still) think it's very exciting to have one book that = a million books on demand, than having to buy a new paper book every time I finish one, and filling my shelves with them. Why have dozens of novels and business books I will not reread in my New York apartment where every square inch counts? (And what will this mean for Brookyn Stoop Sales? Used Books are a big part of those.)

I'm talking mainly about novels and newspapers. For the time being, I think I'd still prefer my art and design books on paper. These are usually more tactile objects and more interestingly designed, both in their look as well as their feel.

It uses the e-ink technology that promises to look and feel more like ink on paper, as it isn't backlit like conventional computer and pda screens. So you'll have no glare or lighting issues which makes it musch easier to read outside or other uncontrolled environments.
