Kindle 3's Visual Interface

The Kindle sure has been enjoying a lot of screen time lately. This still shot from College Humor's new Kindle 3 spoof gives a hint at the spiffy new features the K3 will supposedly boast with its oversized play/pause button and prominent volume controls. Favorite line: "I can't hear you, I'm reading!"

Also be sure to check out last week's Kindle 9XXXD spoof from Atom.com. And of course our commercial of the K2 and friends shamelessly hawking copies of "Kindle Culture" can be seen here.

As actors/models, the Kindles could be difficult to work with.

The first problem was getting the K2 to say the words right. I had to change "read" (which was being said in the past tense) to "reed," "e-reader" to "ee reader" and "to" to "two." I loathe typos, but it had to be done.

Then the Kindle 1s, which had been turned on at different times, started alternately going to screensaver while I was trying to shoot. I finally got everything on the same page and this was the result.
