I was a little surprised to see Yes on the list of bands you would only go back and listen to for nostalgia's sake. I always found most of their music to be deep, mature and very rewarding of repeat listening, but I suppose I am coming at it from a direction of musical complexity and interest and not a lyrical one. Just another reason why music is so great; two people can look at the same thing and see two completely different things.

Since it has USB ports and runs Windows you can just plug in an aircard for either 3G or 4G and have that coverage.

Why would you use Silk over other browsers? It seems like the real benefit of precaching content does not really apply in the desktop case. You don't have near the restrictions on bandwidth, or computing power that you have on a tablet.

Also wasn't there some speculation that there might be serious issues with performance of Javascript throught the Silk system. While agree that it is a large amount of data being aggregated I would be suprised to see this anywhere other than the mobile space.

One thing that I have a problem with is the complaints about the Kindle buttons. As much as I see people try and use the Kindle as a touch screen, I would not want it to be. I like the button press because I don't have to move my hand from holding the device. If I had to physically swipe my finger everytime I wanted to move to the next page I could see that being very annoying.

The two reasons I really love my Kindle are for the digital distribution and the form factor. I can no longer read paperback books. I find holding them to be just unpleasent and not near as enjoyable as the Kindle. And I think a swipe page turning mechanism is a backward step in how I move through my book.
