Amazon Kindle in EW’s New Classics List Issue

For the 1000th issue of Entertainment Weekly they did lists of the “New Classics” – movies, TV shows, albums, and even tech gadgets that they call, “the most brilliant, new, outrageous, inspiring, addictive, hilarious, life-changing classics in movies, TV, music, books, and more of the last 25 years.”

The Amazon Kindle fell in at number 23 on the Tech list. Entertainment Weekly says,

Maybe the book won’t die after all – it’ll just be displaced. Amazon.com’s Kindle, a handheld device that lets you download and read book-length texts, is already a success after less than a year.

Also on the Tech list are TiVo, Netflix, Game Boy, and Amazon.com itself. The rest of the issue is fascinating as well, and I’ll certainly be using the The New Classics Book list to guide some Amazon Kindle Store shopping later. Check out the issue on stands now.
