Detailed review
I developed a jones for the Kindle after hearing Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson talk about it on the Security Now! podcast. So I ordered one and I love it. The fact that you can browse the Amazon store and download immediately is awesome. Also, the cost. I know it's high, but remember there are NO MONTHLY FEES for the 3g wireless connection. I also think the 2 week freebie subscriptions to newspapers is cool. It's painless to manage your subscriptions to the Amazon web site too. There is one book I will not read on the Kindle though, and that is the Bible. To me, A Bible needs to be kinda old and worn out :o)
