Recently, our fabulous Kate Duffy was interviewed by her sister Clare in a report on Amazon’s Kindle! — S. Day
–
With even self-described “book people” embracing Amazon’s Kindle, the e-reader is poised to become the most popular gadget you don’t yet have. NBC’s Clare Duffy reports.

Kate — I loved this, and loved the Sky Mall comment, lol! BEEN THERE.
Ooo great interview, Kate! And amazon gets another marketing kick with the msnbc report. I’m still torn on which ereader to get – and realized, while I love e-ink technology, the flashing/negative/whatever while turning the page makes me batty. I don’t think I can wait until that issue is resolved, however, considering that’s the way it works.
Not sure if I’d give up paper books altogether if I had an ereader, but I’ll never know until I get one
Lime,
I haven’t given up books. It’s not an either/or thing. More like the ultimate reader accessory.
Jill,
I thought that was pretty darn clever of Clare myself.

I have been researching the Kindle, but it is too expensive for my budget.
Great segment! I loved getting a glimpse of your office. It was very clean–unlike mine.
Kate – I know it’s not black and white – it’s that I’m running out of space – so the idea would be to phase out paper books if I got an ereader. (With an extra memory stick.) I’m holding out for more news though, before making a final decision.
Kate – You and you sis make a great team! Is everyone in your family talented???
I will be converted sooner or later to the Kindle or the Sony… just biding my time. And I know when I get one and hubby sees it, he’ll have to have his own. Maybe that’s why I’m waiting.
Hope to see you at the PASIC reception in March…

Hi, Kate.
So much fun seeing you and your sis together.
I love the idea of a Kindel.
Great interview.
Great segment, Kate. It’s almost sold me on the Kindle and I am a supreme resister. Then I look around my house with my overflowing bookshelves and boxes filled with still more books and think — Hmmm, the space-saving features are very attractive.

I so want one of these. I loved the MSNBC piece – then when I saw the Kindle 2. *swoon* I have Kindle envy.
[...] first time I’ve worked with the amazing Kate Duffy. Did y’all read her post about the Kindle? I thoroughly enjoyed it and dang, it made me want a Kindle even more especially since version 2 is [...]
I think the kindle is great, but there are some people that don’t have one which is why I think other distributors like mobipocket should be used additionally. Mobipocket can be downloaded to a PDA or a PC. I will be using both to make sure everyone has access to my work.
