Especially since all your Kindle books are "in the cloud"... you don't need to store them all locally. Sort of like being able to use gmail on your Netbook that has a 4GB drive. You store most everything on the so called "cloud". However, do see that some people might want more. But, really, 1.5 GB of books is a damn lot of books. BOb |

I have about 500 books on my 4 G SD and they barely register on it. I don't think it'll be a problem, actually. I was concerned that they would not give some souped up storage on the mkII.

But that's the whole idea of the Kindle. Make it so easy that you'll only use it the way they want you to. Choices, atonthehead: you don't need choices... |

I assumed it means you will be able to buy and read "Kindle" ebooks if you have the right kind of smart phone, but you are right that there are alternative interpretations.

I don't even see how the back can be taken off!
If I'm not seeing something, please tell me. |
