This week Amazon rolled out its new Kindle, a wireless portable reading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers.

BoingBoing’s Cory Doctorow points would-be buyers to the Kindle fine print and explains why he won’t be buying it.

…it spies on you, it has DRM (which means that it has to be designed to prevent you from modding it, lest you mod it to remove the DRM), it prevents you from selling or lending your books, and the terms of service are nearly as abusive as the Amazon Unbox terms (and worse than the thoroughly dumb-ass Amazon MP3 terms).

**Dan Kennedy offers another take on Kindle: “…what I find intriguing is that it can be used as a portable, always-on virtual newspaper with — get this — paid subscriptions. If the Kindle succeeds, we may finally have a solution to the devastating revenue problem that newspaper and magazine publishers have created for themselves in giving away their content for free.”
