I bought a book this morning for my kindle and here is a short return of experience.

Kindle book

Kindle book

Timing of the operation:
- Found through Google Reader (10s)
- Go to Amazon.com (10s)
- Thinking time … 36$ … do I need it or not ? … (15s)
- One-click purchase (5s)
- Download from Amazon.com (10s)
- Transfer to Kindle through USB (5s)

Overall, this hasn’t taken me more than a minute or two. Pretty amazing no ?

The good: Books are no longer stacking at home waiting to be read
The bad: I can’t see what is my actual backlog and so, I keep buying and buying …
