They keep releasing new kindles, but it’s the same old with couple of new functions. I don’t think worth the money

They may seem expensive but I think that the Kindle will be a large part of our future. http://www.newsy.com/videos/will_new_kindle_dx_change_reading/ has a full report on the future effects of the kindle. They also say that amazon just created a deal that allows them access to 60% of the textbook market. Giving them the potential to become very powerful.
