However, to be really game changing he would need it to be in color. A colored font or background helps dyslexia challenged kids to read. Color cannot be that difficult to add.

Art books ... cook books .... definitely would run and not walk to purchase. Rating: 3 / 5 Like Ms. Cameron I feel that Amazon is missing out on a b-i-g market without color.

The world is, right? Travel books, art, maps, brochures, comics - what part of this is hard to understand? Rating: 1 / 5 Why no color? The world is, right?

Paper is a renewable resource folks; there is nothing wrong with using as much paper as you want. Every paper maker in america uses ecologically friendly forestry that insures that all the trees they cut down are replaced. The vast forests carefully nurtured by the paper conglomerates remove harmful toxins and shelter billions of woodland creatures. Without the paper business, those forests probably wouldnt even exist - they would be turned into farmland or developed for commercial real estate. Furthermore, paper is totally biodegradeable whereas the kindle is a plastic piece of junk filled with toxic chemicals. <br />If you care about the environment, please donate the $400 you were going to spend on the kindle to a charity that will protect this planet's endangered wildlife. <br /> <br />**edit** <br /> <br />Its not like downloading books for the kindle is cost-free like some people suggest. You have to charge your kindle regularly, which takes electricity, which pollutes the environment. Furthermore, when you download books off the internet that actually takes alot of energy because of all the computers and servers on the network that are required to be operating, each one using a substantial amount of electricity. There are also huge infrastructure costs associated with building, maintaining, and upgrading wireless networks. So my advice is that if you consider the supposedly eco - friendly characteristics of the kindle to be an important selling point, think again.
