This is sweet, especially since they are giving us 30 days to build up the credits, but I would LOVE it if they did a nook when it came out.

Nice. I won one of these in a contest but didn't keep it. I'm waiting for the full-color screen to come out for reading comic books and magazines.

Unrelated question: I've been here for 21-22 days and have more than 5 feedback ratings. Shouldn't I have my wings? Is that an automatic badge or do I have to request it?

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 06:45:30 AM PST by rictor

Hi rictor, looks like you have your wings badge now... it should be automatic. Did you do something in order to trigger it? Thanks!

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 01:33:04 PM PST by listia

the wings badge is auto i think

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 01:20:15 PM PST by getsome Moderator

I got it automatically when I got my 15th feedback rating today, I think. The wings page says you get it after 20 days and 5 feedback ratings though.

Are we going to get more 1-week reward auctions soon or are they mainly going to be 30 days now?

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 01:36:02 PM PST by rictor

we'd like to have it so that rewards auctions are ending all the time. the big ticket items may be up longer than others though.

Nov 3rd, 2009 at 01:39:07 PM PST by listia

Nice book reader.

^ Nook is cooler, IMO...

Nov 5th, 2009 at 08:47:34 PM PST by Craig

Wow... just learned this has a web browser over 3G... very cool...

Nov 8th, 2009 at 08:46:37 PM PST by Craig

Looks like everyone is out! 21 more days and this will be mine. Go away... nothing to see here.

Nov 10th, 2009 at 09:11:01 AM PST by tampacpa

Oh I should be back on this I would hope.

Nov 11th, 2009 at 01:52:46 PM PST by Pooch Moderator

Is there a color e-book reader out there?

Nov 11th, 2009 at 11:48:31 PM PST by geehwan Moderator

How much does shipping to Malaysia cost?

Nov 12th, 2009 at 02:09:53 AM PST by eureka279

Sorry we only ship to the US.

Nov 12th, 2009 at 02:40:11 AM PST by listia

It's depressing how long these take..

Nov 12th, 2009 at 12:02:40 PM PST by snagra

We have a few others ending earlier.

Nov 12th, 2009 at 12:04:14 PM PST by listia

A few other Reward auctions or Kindle Readers?

Nov 12th, 2009 at 12:05:22 PM PST by snagra

Reward Auctions, snagra.

Nov 12th, 2009 at 02:52:45 PM PST by goatwoodward

@ geehwan: There is; it's called the Fujitsu’s Flepia and retails for just over $1000. It features an 8" touchscreen which displays 260,000 colors.

It's not currently available in the US, though.

Nov 12th, 2009 at 04:11:42 PM PST by Craig

wow $1000 .. I have a kindle right now and it rocks for reading.. just soso for browsing web etc.. I can actually tweet from it though. lol!

Nov 12th, 2009 at 05:53:20 PM PST by geehwan Moderator

^ That's pretty cool... I think the nook will be the next to take over the e-book market solely due to the fact that it runs Android...

I'll bet apps will start coming out for it the month it's released.

Nov 13th, 2009 at 02:35:44 PM PST by Craig

when's it supposed to be released?

Nov 14th, 2009 at 05:38:57 PM PST by Pooch Moderator

^ Pre order now, released a few weeks ago. Ship date scheduled for 30 November 2009 or earlier.

Did you mean to link to the old version of the Kindle? Here's the new one: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireless-Reading-Display-Genera tion/dp/B0015T963C/ref=amb_link_85791791_2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX 0DER&pf_rd_s=kindle-availability-messaging&pf_rd_r=1 EJXZNJM6A8D7E18CESP&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=499180351&am p;pf_rd_i=B00154JDAI

Nov 17th, 2009 at 02:12:26 PM PST by rictor

oops, we did not mean to link to the old one :-) We will definitely be shipping the latest model

Nov 17th, 2009 at 10:40:10 PM PST by listia

@ Rictor I'm sure the one listed here is supposed to be the new one, as international wireless is listed as one of the features that the old one lacked. Good eye!

Nov 17th, 2009 at 04:24:56 PM PST by bsonline

yup u got it :-) Good eye for sure!

Nov 17th, 2009 at 10:40:30 PM PST by listia

^^ Good point, hopefully that's the case.

Nov 17th, 2009 at 06:59:48 PM PST by Craig

You guys are slacking off in featuring user auctions this week. Maybe there should be a vote button on each auction, and people can click that to send auctions to the featured page. The auctions with the most votes (coolest auctions) would show up at the top of the featured page.

Nov 19th, 2009 at 09:34:12 AM PST by rictor

thats a great idea which we hope to have up sometime soon! Thanks for the suggestion!

Nov 19th, 2009 at 01:55:43 PM PST by listia

i dont know why you would want the kindle internationally, when it only works in US with Sprints EVDO for book downloads.

Nov 19th, 2009 at 06:32:54 PM PST by snoods

Someday they'll figure out how to design the system in "braille" for the visually impaired and maybe in color for others!
