Amazon's Kindle's most interesting feature, with a caveat

Tuesday, November 20, 2007 by Dave Winer.

First the caveat, I have an incomplete picture of Amazon's Kindle, since I was not one of the people who Amazon chose to communicate with. I first heard about it on Sunday when it appeared in Newsweek.  

With that caveat, the most interesting thing sbout the device is that it is untethered. It does its own synching, it doesn't depend on a computer to do it for it, eliminating the chief hassle of iPods. 

Can they subscribe to a podcast feed? Can it play audio? I have no idea.
