don’t buy a kindle

Friday, June 27th, 2008

I used to be a strong evangelist for the kindle, but now I’m an anti-evangelist.  do NOT buy a kindle until Jeff Bezos gets his programmers to stop being lazy, and implement wishlist support.  

I wouldn’t be half as pissed if they’d been honest about the reasons for the limitations, instead of blaming the failure of their programming team on some mystical god-of-just-can’t-happen.  As I said in my last email to them, it’s more than a bit disingenuous to keep using the word “can’t” in your excuses.  The correct word is “won’t”.
