With the new iPad coming onto the market, it seems that Amazon and Apple could easily become enemies. Of course, Amazon already sells a device similar to read books with called the Kindle. This has been the quickest and hottest way for people to take advantage of reading e-books, especially since the screen of the iPhone is so small and difficult to use to read downloadable PDFs.
It seems that this new netbook is a larger version of the iPod touch, and it runs around $500. Apple itself is not a fan of netbooks, but this is yet another version of a device for personal use. It is not supposed to work as a replacement for the iPod or iPhone, but it is supposed to be a cross breed of a device similar to a laptop that has a large enough screen to enjoy books on. It seems to be directly related to the Kindle to be used for chilling at home, reading in bed, or reading on an airplane. If you are already a fan of your iPhone, then you may want to try this device, but make sure that you have some iPad repair site on hand to help you out if the big screen cracks!
