More Amazon Kindle: is it worth two OLPCs?
RC Howe, aka my older son, has done a very nice table comparison of the $399 Amazon Kindle book reader and the less than $200, One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) computer. And the simple act of comparing the two raises an interesting question: Is a smaller form factor and more restricted functionality worth twice the price?
Oh, and if you really want to pay $399, why not take advantage of OLPC's Give One, Get One program? No matter what you may think of the technology behind the product, it's a nice piece of philanthropic marketing.
