The guy that asked the google ATM question sounds like a Amazon shill to me

Bezos is just shilling the Kindle, probably because it is not selling as well as he had expected. It is an OK idea, but not well executed(it’s like a Zune reader when it should be an iPod reader). The interface is poor(too much of the surface is dedicated to buttons, etc and not text), it is too big, and it is WAY too expensive. Make it $100, 1/4 inch thick, and have ~90% of the surface as readable text.

And in response to someones comment about the writing – those are quotes from the subject of the story, so you can’t hold the author responsible. Pay attention.

It’s going backwards…printing a book at an ATM? Keep reems of paper and ink at an ATM-like machine? dumb… Would hate to be the nth person in line to print a book. You think you have problems with your office printer now..hahahaha. That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard from a technology company

This article is not well written.

“… the medium time …”
should be
“… the median time …”

And “Our vision for the kindle…”
should be
“Our vision for the Kindle…”

What year is this guy living in? 1998, perhaps?
