We have been reading about this all year and now CNET publishes that Amazon could make the official announcement for its Kindle, the E Ink based ebook reader, this Monday 19. A move that could demonstrate, once and for all, that the electronic books market has a future, something I've always believed even if many tried to deny.

The Amazon Kindle uses E Ink technology just like Sony Reader, Iliad and Cybook do, and could cost US$ 399, a little more than the average price of the competition; however, Amazon has a few advantages: it manages many titles thanks to owning Mobipocket, has many satisfied customers and could offer a few promotional titles, at very low prices, with the Kindle.

Now that the Kindle is coming and some prices could start shaking on the ebook readers market I may finally complete my list of gadgets I want for 2007.
