Sense kindle runs android, does that mean that you will have an android app available soon?

EDIT: At least thats what the people at the local barens and noble told me, I'm not 100% sure though...

The lcd on the smartphones are too small and too bright, reading a book on them is uncomfortable.

Kindle and Amazon's closed system sucks! Use the Calibre software and it will automatically generate "eBooks" in .epub format for all the popular feeds and news papers.

Go on Tom's... see if you can create a Recipe in Calibre for the Toms Feed (complete with links and photos).

Even if you dim the brightness the lcd screen remains too bright. I don't own a kindle, but I fiddled with one, if you want to do some serious reading it's fantastic, way better than any smartphone, slate, computer/laptop lcd. Of course the kindlke screen has a downsize, because it's only good to reading books and worthless for anything else.

I set mine to white txt on black background. Then I set the brightness low on the device and the app lets me turn it even lower.. Works for me..

So like the ultimate sucker, and largely due to this blurb, I just bought a new kindle this morning. Now I go to the TH kindle blog page to subscribe, and was merrily greeted with:
"This title is not available for customers from: Canada"

i feel shafted

fortunately i have more use for it than reading toms hardware's advertisement feeds.
