I thought exactly the same thing. I'm a total book-a-holic; they are strewn over just about every surface in the house. I pretty much always have a minimum of 3 on the go at any one time and, usually more.
But this little pad has just blown me away. Honestly. I can't remember the last tiem I enjoyed reading so much. And, this is the latest gen with the experimental MP3 player built in. The speakers are incredible, even though the player itself sucks and needs lots of work.
That tiny gripe aside, I honestly can't fault it.:hatsoff:
Kindle 3G variant, and a Kindle app on the 'ol iPad2... Standalone Kindle is unbeatable when riding in a car. Love the dictionary/thesaurus/encyclopedia add-in...100's of books/magazines/newspapers at your finger-tips along with a whole reference section...FTW!
p.s. I find myself sometimes reading so long...that I forgot to eat lunch/dinner (or for that fact I end up pulling an all-nighter)...Why I do this...:dunno:...but the Kindle is bang'n

Petition to Amazon for this? I think so
Prior to getting both the Kindle (standalone) and the iPad w/ kindle (May 22nd)...I may have read only 1 book a year; I've already burned through 5. Mostly historical, and science novels (not Sci-Fi). Kindle Owners Anonymous anyone? :1orglaugh

:hatsoff: Digital "books" are not books. :tongue:
They are for lazy people. Get a real book and flip the pages.

Luddite.
(also, that's why electronic versions are known as 'e-books', to distinguish them from the paper versions.)
I have no need for one. I much prefer to read real books. If I want to read something on an electronic device, that's what literature.org and Project Gutenberg are for, and they can be accessed on my phone.

You can't compare reading a document on a backlit device with reading it on a Kindle, which reads as well as, if not better than, paper. I was reading in direct sunlight today. It was easier than paper ... less reflection and glare. It would have been impossible to get the same reading quality using a backlit device (laptop, phone etc).
how much are books?

They range from free, 99c all the way up to $12 or so, but most seem to be in the $2-$5 range ... from clicking "order' until having it fully downloaded on the device .. about 10 seconds!

Not into books. Neither real nor digital. :dunno: Plus kindle/ebooks are still way too expensive over here. They cost around as much as the real thing. It's because in Germany a book must cost the same everywherer you buy it. So ebooks fall under that rule too.
Enjoy your kindle my fuzzy fwiend!
