At long last…

The project I was working on at Amazon finally launched!

It’s drawn a lot of criticism since it was first leaked more than a year ago; I wonder if Amazon’s take on the e-book reader is bold enough to overcome the current limitations of e-ink and its high price tag. Hopefully this will kick-start an industry that has so far languished in obscurity.

    Congrats on the Kindle launch! Did you work on the hardware or the software side of things?

    I didn’t know you had a blog. I expected more 4chan-like somethingawfulness from you.

    More on the software side. I think I tried the actual device only a few times even when I was at Amazon.

    And I don’t even read 4chan. >:(
