Chapter 11 does not mean the company is dead; quite the contrary. Most companies, especially retailers, file Chapter 11 to get rid of under-performing retail stores by "rejecting" long term leases and paying the landlords a nominal portion of the remaining rent. They usually restructure their trade debt (i.e suppliers) and emerge from Chapter 11 stronger and with renewed viability.

Sorry to disappoint you. They ain't dead yet.

Monopole #15

I didn't say they had emulated it well, only that several of the design elements were obvious homages to apple. How long until it's being called "the iPod for books?"

I agree the white looks crappy. But my iPod doesn't get dirty. (Until I load a Christina Aguilera video.)

I'll prolly NOT buy one of these, only because I want to wait until I know someone has done it right. But I don't have an iPhone either.

Clearly the white plastic, integrated "Kindle Store" and uniform content pricing are meant to emulate iPod. Alas, also the DRM.

Also, compared to an iPod, doesn't seem like an outrageous price.
