Kindle Reading Device

I’m not sure how long this thing has actually been out, but I just noticed Amazon.com’s new wireless reading device, Kindle. It kind of reminds me of a slimmer, white Apple Newton device. I wonder whether Steve Jobs and Apple really messed up by ending the Newton program. What could it be, now?
I think we are seeing the beginning of the “flexible digital paper” or devices that will really move us into reading through an electronic device. We shall see.
