>>This gizmo is cool. Very easy on the eyes and a very well designed interface. And it only cost 10 times what I would ever spend on a pair of sunglasses <g>

>Yep, just got mine yesterday as well. Much better than trying to read a book on my Android phone.I bought the leather cover with it but I actually like reading with it out of the cover (since the cover is fairly heavy).
As you may know there is a nice, free utility Calibre which will convert epub and just about anything else to the MOBI format Kindle likes. PDFs seem to display better as pdf than after conversion, but this is a must for the epub format (lots of free stuff out there in epub)
$139 is definitely a winning price-point and I like this one a lot more than my sister's Kindle2.
I have been told you can use it as a browser - have you figured that out ?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
