Amazon is set to disable the speech to text function its new Kindle 2 ebook reader.
Amazon will probably not sell as many units since it has announced its intention to disable the speech to text function its new Kindle 2 ebook reader.
Isn't this is a bad move on their part..
Publishers and writers can disable Kindle 2's read aloud feature.
Whats up with that?

I haven't had the chance to use a kindle, but I don't know if it will have the pull they are hoping for. At least not at that price. They have recently made a version for the itouch, but it is kind of a small screen and I don't prefer to read on it.

Wen it comes down to it, I still prefer the real thing.

I do read better on a real book rather than an e-book. But I see some advantages of e-books too. I happen to move around a lot, so it is easier for me not to have a couple of box filled with books that are really heavy. And e-books are usually cheaper than real books. But I don't think libraries are gonna have problems with those new technologies because I love to take a look at many different kinds of book for free, and most importantly I love the atmosphere of libraries!! It is quiet and so relaxing. Perfect for reading a book and being in your own world. We do not want to lose that for sure!!

I think the kindle will be the future all librays should transfer all books into a digital format. That way it is protected and everyone can enjoy it.

Seo Las Vegas

Sounds interesting. I will check on that. Thanks!

I actually really think that the Kindle is a great idea, have yet to meet anybody who owns one though...

This is a great write up. I bought a Kindle when it first launched and I have to say being able to get any book I want on demand like this is really terrific.

Kindle 2 is surely going to be a big blow to libraries. I use mine and can't say that I've had the need to visit the library since, although sometimes the physical book is a bit nicer to have around!

Handmade Soap

The Kindle will not replace libraries in my opinion - at least not until it has some more abilities. As an example I would never read a 500 page novel on my Kindle unless I was really hard up.

Arizona Real Estate

I agree with the above poster. Reading a book on Kindle really doesn't appeal to me. I prefer a more personal touch with the actual book in my hand!

kindle can be usefull but what about the feeling of reading a real book, but then again we are saving the planet.

Free Samples

I've heard a lot of good things about Kindle. I wouldn't mind trying it out.

Free Hotel Coupons

Kindle 2 will be awesome. I think Opra is one of the marketers for it.

Kindle rocks but librarys will always be around.
