I have an iphone with a Kindle app and I am a huge fan of e-books. The publishers are starting to take advantage of the Apple vs. Kindle wars and increase prices. We consumers should demand high quality readers and fair prices. lowerebookprices.ning.com The new iPad is awesome, but pay attention to the price wars.

I don't think anyone actually knows what the tablet has yet - this is just my wishful thinking - but perhaps if lots of people ask for it, they might include it! Certainly the iPods and iPhone have improved over time, so it will happen! It's just a case of when. Thanks for your comment! Joanna Hi Natalie,

All of the above. I have been fantasizing about a kindle, but I live in Thailand which only just got even the iphone, which you have to buy for $700 US, eekk!! And the 3G version apparentlly doesn't work here. We have no bookshops on the island I live on, I am considering starting one! I am desperate on a daily basis for books, and can't really deal with reading them on the computer. My wish list for the apple thing (which I've only heard of today) would be similar to yours, I am particularly keen on the natural reading screen technology of the kindle. Do you know if the apple tablet has this already? And the wireless is an absolute must, I'm really hoping Apple outdo themselves on this. Hi Joanna, me too, me too, me too. All of the above.

Similar to the way I can create a podcast feed, there could be an author feed that is user-friendly. The Amazon DTP for Kindle is pretty good (although I can never see the finished result), but it could be easier. Indie authors need to have the same ease of access to digital publishing as publishers. Thanks Rebecca and Harold,

I didn't even know I wanted one of these until I read this. I think Apple might want to steal some of your sales copy! Wow. I didn’t even know I wanted one of these until I read this.

I want an Apple Tablet eBook Reader too! AND I want to buy able to WRITE on the reader like you can write/draw on a tablet. You can't do that with Kindle. You can make notes on the latest edition with the little keys but the functionality is minimal. There is so much more a tablet would allow us to do and with the touch screen functionality already available in iPhone and the marketplace already working with iTunes it can't possibly be too much of a stretch to make this happen.
