Amazon turns Kindle into a platform

Meh, OpenInkpot is available for many of the lower end Chinese made eReaders. I'm getting my wife a Hanvan N516 for our aniversary soon, it's just a basic 5' reader but it costs 1,250 R&B which is about US. 183

OK Amazons got the library & the platform, but it's never going to make it in the Chinese market that's for sure.

Remember the iPod: it doesn't really matter if something already exists: thye first company that gets it right gets the prize.

Right now, I suspect something Android-derived will play an important role on e-reader devices, specially if animation-capable OLED or PixelQi-style LCDs take a hold.

I see Hangman, 20 questions, and crosswords in the future.

E-mail, contacts, calendar...

Sudoku.

already on the homepage, much discussion there:
