Amazon Kindle redesign concept
Gregory Raiz has published an interesting concept for a redesign of the Amazon Kindle. The Kindle has been redesigned recently, but it’s still not satisfactory for Greg (and I assume for most designers).
In short, the screen gets bigger and the unnecessary stuff is removed. I’m not so sure about the coloured bright screen, but the overall idea is very good and seems to make reading easier, which is after all the main purpose of such a device.
Stupid.
Overall, I think it’s a step in the right direction, but I have to admit that my designer-senses are screaming for a slightly more ergonomic way to hold it–
wow… there’s only two chars in the alphabets language Greg is using… so much easier… but where are Ctrl, Alt and Delete?
This is the prefect example of what I used to call the “blonde paradox” (nice but won’t work).
Sorry for the troll, I’m too pragmatic
BTW: Happy birthday!
