last100: Kindle 2.0 is looking more like Kindle 1.5

I must admit getting an iPhone has lessened my desire for a Kindle. Though the iPhone still falls short in one huge one on this level (I haven't used a Kindle)...The screen. Yeah, it looks nice, but its certainly not as easy on the eyes as the Kindle or Sony's Reader. I agree with the idea that single use devices aren't that great - and I am most certainly for the centralization of most devices into one.

Reading books on an iPhone? you MUST be joking.
No way that tiny, backlit screen is going to be the way I read books. I've had a Kindle for over two months--I've never read more books. They're easy to find, easy to buy, easy to carry. And the thing doesn't need re-charging nearly as often as an iPod or phone.
If you read, the Kindle is an awesome device. If you're a gadget fanboi, go play with the gadgets. Readers are already reticent to use Kindle, which has an awesome UI. No way they'll read off their backlit iPhones, touchscreen or no.

Can Audible books be downloaded wirelessly to the Kindle or must one send such material to computer and then synch it? There some situations in which I want to listen but do not want the hassle of synching or carrying around a CD player in addition to Kindle.
