If there's one company that wants the e-book to succeed, it's Amazon.com. The mammoth online retailer may have moved well beyond its book-based beginnings, but its innovative, albeit expensive, device is the e-book's best hope to get back in the game. Smaller than a hardcover book and larger than a paperback, the white plastic Kindle feels good in hand. It features a sharp electronic ink display that is relatively grey, but the contrast is high enough to make for easy reading. You can also shift between six text sizes—perfect for those of us with failing eyes.
