With the launch of the Kindle e-book reader by Amazon. I have to ask the question again.. “What is the point”? In an age where we are trying to reduce the number of gadets we carry why would you want to pay almost $400 for an e-book reader? Especially as you have to pay for content that you can get free on the web.

I love the idea of e-books, but why not sell them so i can read them on a gadget that i already have such as my PDA or the IPhone or even my laptop. I know that a laptop is much bigger, but with the introduction of the OLPC and the Eee PC thats going to change. These devices can do the same job and more, web, email, word processing etc for much the same price.

I support Amazon’s decision to offer Non-DRM MP3′s but why have they introduced a device like this when they could sell e-books in a standard open format, and probably sell a lot more of them? 

Am i Missing the point?

Do you have one?

Do you want one?

Tell me what you think.

It seems that Martin O’Neil Doesn’t .

” Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill says he is committed to the club and is not interested in the vacant England coach’s position.

The Northern Irishman, 55, who was interviewed for the job last year, is among the favourites to take over following Steve McClaren’s dismissal.

O’Neill told BBC Radio 5 Live: “My name might not even be put forward and I am uncomfortable talking about it.

“But I have got a commitment to this club and I want to see it through.” “

Jose Mourinho doesn’t want it

“Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho does not want to succeed Steve McClaren as England manager, BBC Sport understands.

Mourinho, 44, has been out of football since leaving Stamford Bridge in September but is believed to be waiting for a club rather than a national post. “

“Radio 5 Live’s football correspondent Jonathan Legard said: “Mourinho is apparently champing at the bit to return to football management. “But not for a job, however lucrative and high profile, that only allows him to do what he does so well – working with players – a couple of times every few months.“He’s like a lion in a cage, I was told, but a national job, even such a special post like England, would only appeal at a later stage in his career and the chances are even then that would only be the Portugal job.“Far more attractive for the former Chelsea title winner at the moment is a top European club vacancy and as he waits for that, so the FA must come to terms with the size of their task.” “
