Although the essay doesn’t contain much more info about the Amazon Kindle that we hadn’t seen before, Newsweek’s cover story on the device is the first official confirmation that the device exists. Featuring an interview with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the spread lays down the feature set — $399, 6-inch E-ink screen, no backlight, EV-DO “Whispernet” on Sprint for by the air book purchases — and the company’s vision for digital books replacing “the last bastion of analog.” Books will go for $9.99, and users can even subscribe to newspapers and “select blogs” for monthly fees. additionally news is that the Kindle gets 30 hours of battery life, and can fully recharge in only two. One thing’s for certain, that is looking way more compelling a package than previous attempts at the eBook concept.
