I've been using a Kindle now for a few days, and reading my subscription to The New York Times. Reading a Kindle-based newspaper is superior -- far superior, actually -- to reading a paper newspaper. So even if you don't care about saving the newspaper industry -- even if you hate the environment -- buy a Kindle anyway for purely selfish reasons. HERE'S WHY THE KINDLE IS BETTER THAN A NEWSPAPER.

Kindle sounded good to me too, until I read Mark Pilgrim's "Future of Reading," posted on Slashdot at http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/04/1812228
Kindle's terms of service seem to conjure up an Orwellian nightmare of DRM. Fortunately, you can still buy printed material without agreeing to surrender your fair use rights.
