Wow Kindle, Now We Can Confirm You Are 3 Years Behind the Power Curve

Yes I love my Kindle, but I'll be the first to admit that I love it for reasons that are peculiar. I am like the alcoholic who must pour all the alcohol in his house down the sink or he'll use it too much. I'm the weirdo who stored his almost too heavy to lug around TV in the back closet of his apartment so it would be a chore to get out, all in the name of not wanting to watch TV.

So I love the fact that my Kindle is an eReader. It's not a PC, it's not an app device, its not a camera, or a cell phone or anything else. I use that sucker for reading. When I have it in my hands it's for reading and even if I wanted to do something else, I couldn't.

Now we see from this article (here) that it wasn't for those reasons that Kindle didn't become an iPad, it's just that they weren't quite up to the task. Now they've gone and created a whole range of Kindles, some that are knockoff Nooks, some that are Kindles with touchscreen, some just Kindles with no keypad.

I just wish that they'd make these damn Kindles more updateable. It's like my first gen shuffle. Kinda looks sad next to my 5th gen one.
