Personally, it solves the problem of having to roll over while reading in bed, which I view to be a key benefit, in addition to the absolute flexibility/portability reference above. Need more titles, however. I am a huge fan also, mostly because I love the free razor/$ razorblades business model.

But I'm very interested in the Kindle, too, so it was a happy read nonetheless. Congratulations, I got here via a Google Alert for blogs talking about the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award!

Most modern cell phones can run java programs, http://www.booksinmyphone.com has packaged up hundreds of give away titles so they will run on cell phones. Cell phones are much smaller than a regular eReader, this actually has an upside - ultra portability. Most people carry their phones everywhere, now they can carry books everywhere without even thinking about it. The screen size does mean that it's only really good for reading novels and general prose - but that's what I read most for fun anyway.

I fully knew I was buying a new Ver. 1 of an entirely new product, and had no unrealistic expectations. As such I am very pleased indeed. I cannot imagine now NOT having my Kindle, and I take it everywhere I go -- to the John, to Bed, when I drive somewhere, when I eat out, literally everywhere. When I can find scraps of time to read, I can, and do. But I could never do that before. I’ve had my Kindle since Dec. 4th, and am well satisfied with it.
