Reading the New York Times On a Kindle 2

Posted by kdawson on from the all-the-news-that's-fit-to-squint dept.

reifman links to his thorough and thoughtful review of the experience of reading a newspaper on the Kindle 2. "I've been eager to try The New York Times on the Kindle 2; here's my review with a basic video walk-through and screenshots. I give the Kindle 2 version of The Times a B. Software updates could bring it up to an A-. Kindle designers should have learned more from the iPhone 3G. Unfortunately, my Kindle display scratched less than 24 hours after it arrived. As I detail in the review, Amazon customer service was not very accommodating. Is it my fault — or will Kindle 2 evolve into an Apple 1G Nano-like $22.5M settlement? You can read about Hearst's e-reader for newspapers from earlier today on Slashdot."

    How is this even remotely funny and why is it still on the site? I don't mind disagreement with anyone, but this post simply throws up a racist joke for no reason. Somebody delete this crap.

    Actually it wasn't. My vitriol was germane to the discussion, the original comment wasn't.

    Much like your attempt to bait me with the N word was germane to my post, so I could see it had some relevance (although it was a faulty analysis).
