Oh no! The Kindle!

Hey, have you read the article about the Kindle? NEWSWEEK cover story, Books Aren't Dead (They're Just Going Digital). What do you think? The author hits books hard.
My thoughts:
1. The I-Pod lovers are going to jump all over this, but I don't think I need one more thing to remember to charge up.
2. I would love to read newspaper articles on this thing, but that's about it.
3. Thank god it doesn't support animation, picture books will live on.
4. I wonder what it will do to book prices in general.
5. Even though there are other ebook reading devices on the market that have flopped before, I think this one will be the big seller.
6. If they combine it with music, it would be a fun toy to have.
