Why Kindle Is Great for 'Extreme Telecommuters'

Amazon.com's Kindle is a Godsend for "extreme telecommuters" (people who telecommute from somewhere other than their own home -- like from a beach in Florida). Why? Well, besides being able to carry a thousand books and a three-foot high stack of newspapers in a device that weighs under 11 ounces, it also lets you SURF THE WEB AND DO GMAIL and other common tasks in places where a laptop is too much computer, and a cell phone isn't enough. (It's also nice to have your morning paper delivered to you, rather than your house.)
