Seems the web is gaga over this new ebook reader from Amazon. I kind of see why, but on the other hand, I wonder… Why?

With the advancements in screen resolution and memory capacity on PDAs, Pocket PC Phones, etc… Why would you want a stand alone reader? I have to admit though, I am not much of a fiction reader, but I do read a few non-fiction books in the ebook format on my Pocket PC Phones.

For ease of getting content, I can see some of these readers being useful, especially the Kindle. The linking of Amazon over the air via EVDO is pretty nice, but it’s really not tough to drop an ebook onto your SD or MicroSD card.

I just don’t get it really. I have seen some peers online getting excited about this Amazon Reader and I just don’t get it.

What are your thoughts?

PS. There are 139 Customer Reviews of a Device just announced on Amazon. How does that happen?
