Looking for some feedback on some general questions before I let my K2 ship to me next week:
1) I read a few authors that are not mainstream popular and I am the type of reader that enjoys starting the book on Release Tuesday. I think Amazon, the publishers, or a combination of the two are going to prevent this from happening because the Kindle edition won't be available on Release Tuesday. Example: Brian Freeman's IN THE DARK is released 3/31/09. His other books are on Kindle but I don't know how long after the release date it took for them to be available. I hear you can request people on this site to help you get 'clicks' for the Kindle edition on Amazon but how many does it take and it is a feasible possibility?
2) Does Kindle 1 have a web browser? I called Amazon's Kindle Dept and the guy said no Kindle has web browsing....is that true? I know K2 isn't out yet but does anybody know if it will have this capability? I am talking about sites other than Kindle store, Wikipedia, etc.
3) I am a bit concerned about needing to use a book light. I want to be able to read the Kindle and that's it. Can I assume that as long as I can read a book in lower light level then I will be able to read the Kindle as well?
Any feedback is appreciated...thanks...-Mike
