Wi-Fi is fast enough for HD video with 5.1 surround sound. I watch a lot of movies that way. I look forward to the day that I throw out all of my ethernet cables. My TV is 148 lbs and I still don't like that ethernet cable. There is no way that I would tolerate a cabled kindle. The whole kindle vibe is based on portability.

As for the user interface, on my laptop (wi-fi) I browse Amazon looking for books I might like. When I see one I send a free sample chapter to my kindle (or schedule it actually). At some point I pick up the kindle, turn it on receive my samples and start to read them. Sometimes they suck and I delete the samples. But if I liked the sample chapter, it's just a very few clicks to buy it and get it on my kindle. I really don't want to go get my laptop, fire it up, plug in my kindle, etc. As things now stand, I can continue reading past the sample chapter in just a few seconds.

There are also daily publications available for the kindle on a subscription basis. I don't subscribe to any. If I subscribed to a newspaper I would want it as soon as it was available. But I wouldn't want my kindle tethered to a computer.

Config::MVP::Reader::Finder(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			  Config::MVP::Reader::Finder(3pm)

NAME
Config::MVP::Reader::Finder - a reader that finds an appropriate file VERSION
version 2.200002 DESCRIPTION
The Finder reader multiplexes many other readers that implement the Config::MVP::Reader::Findable role. It uses Module::Pluggable to search for modules, limits them to objects implementing the Findable role, and then selects the those which report that they are able to read a configuration file found in the config root directory. If exactly one findable configuration reader finds a file, it is used to read the file and the configuration sequence is returned. Otherwise, an exception is raised. Config::MVP::Reader::Finder's "build_assembler" method will decline a new assembler, so if none was passed to "read_config", the Findable reader to which reading is delegated will be responsible for building the assembler, unless a Finder subclass overrides "build_assembler" to set a default across all possible delegates. METHODS
default_search_path This is the default search path used to find configuration readers. This method should return a list, and by default returns: qw( Config::MVP::Reader ) AUTHOR
