Dick Smith has been running TV advertisements for the Amazon Kindle
eBook reader. These depict the Kindle's screen with text highlighted in
yellow. Dick Smith is selling two models of the 6 Inch screen Kindle:
Wi-Fi and 3g. However, neither of these, nor any any other released
Kindle model, has a color screen. This advertisement is misleading and
should be changed to remove the color from the Kindle screen.
The Kindle does have some attractive features, such as a long battery
life. The 3G model also has free 3G wireless access in Australia and
many countries and a usable (if limited) web browser.
