The Kindle is a $399 waffle maker

NOTE: The Kindle 2 book reader is out now! Here's my review of the kindle book reader.

THE COMMENTARY BELOW IS FOR THE ORIGINAL KINDLE.

Andy Ihnatko has a very interesting article on the Amazon Kindle:

So here's what Amazon went and did. Metaphorically, the company invented a humanoid robot capable of autonomous action. Every day at 4 a.m., it gets in your car and drives all over the state, buying fruit, milk, butter, eggs and other staples straight from the farm. By the time you wake up and trudge into the kitchen, there's a steaming plate of waffles waiting for you, made from scratch, and topped with fresh-picked strawberries and whipped cream.

It's one of the most awesome consumer products ever. It might even be a landmark moment in technology. ... and Amazon is promoting it as a $399 waffle maker.
