Kindle.... subscription based browsing ($13.99/month for the New York Times, $2/month for BoingBoing blog) that I can do for free on WiFi, a $400 price tag and EV-DO that doesn't work anywhere but the States - are Amazon nuts? Why didn't they consider Bluetooth tethering or would this have scuppered their already ridiculous business model?

To be honest this thing has failure written all over it, more so than the Palm Foleo - if it were sold at a loss, something like $100, it might have a chance with the subscription model but at full price AND subscriptions - no thanks. Amazon would do better to support the Nokia tablets, perhaps as a partner to allow easy eBook downloads.
