I obviously can't answer this yet, but I thought the big advantage was it's easier on the eyes (i.e. more "booklike"), which is something my wife is concerned about.

Also, can you get a laptop for $139?

As far as I've heard:

  1. the constrast is more "booklike" which is "easier on the eyes",
  2. the battery lasts longer than other mobile electronics
  3. it's lighter than a laptop
  4. Smaller/no keyboard
  5. The fact that it doesn't do more than books is considered a plus to some people.

 

If I put my laptop in low brightness mode, it makes the contrast go to poop and it is pretty easy on my eyes- in the sense that it isn't blowing them out the back of my head and blinding me (with science).

I don't know of any laptops for $139, but you can get a lot of netbooks for about $199. Sure, it's $60 more, but can you post on OT.com from your kindle?
