Amazon Kindle to debut

hmmm.­ This looks interesting.­ I still like old-­fashioned paper, but something like this would be fantastic for commuting.­ Primary differentiator from current e-­ink e-­readers (sony, bookeen, et.­ al) is that it pulls in content (including daily newspapers!) over the EVDO cell network, and has the muscle of Amazon behind it.­ The latter means that it will have something like 90,000 titles available at launch.­ Not sure how that compares to other e-­readers, but I’m guessing with Amazon driving things, most publishers will make an e-­version of new releases available.­ Official announcement comes tomorrow.
