kindle

amazon is selling a device called the kindle. it's an ebook reader that looks like it uses electronic ink. looks like a very high-quality display and has a long battery life. built-in qwerty, too. i wonder how hackable? if there's a way for me to break off amazon's manacles, this might be my zaurus replacement.... UPDATE: apparently the kindle runs linux and a number of other os packages. amazon has released source of their changes, as they are obligated to do. maybe this thing is hackable, after all. i'm guessing amazon will not be forthcoming with hardware specs, though.
