Do you love both Asus laptops and Amazon's Kindle book-reading app, but are extremely lazy? As in, so lazy you can't be bothered to download and install the PC version of Amazon's free Kindle app on your new Netbook?
Fortunately the alphabetically enhanced companies Asus and Amazon have heard your cries and responded by striking a deal to pre-load the Kindle app on select Asus systems, including the Eee PC 1005PE Netbook and the 13-inch UL30A and UL30VT (with other models to follow).
Why bother pre-installing more free software on an off-the-shelf laptop? The Asus press release on the subject helpfully quotes Ben Thacker, VP Sales and Product Management, Systems Business Group, North American Channel, ASUS Computer International as saying, "Kindle is something our customers have been asking for and by pre-installing Kindle for PC on select long battery life products, we believe we are providing our customers an even richer PC experience."
We say, as long as you're installing the Kindle software, why can't someone ship us a laptop pre-loaded with Firefox, AVG Free, Steam, and the VLC media player?
