My interest in the Amazon Kindle went up greatly when I read it will
hold up to 3500 ebooks. Now I'm not sure yet how many it'll hold in PDF
format, but dang, to have a few hundred technical reference books
available in a heartbeat...

Saw one at Staples the other day, and it was so thin, I thought at first
it was a cardboard facsimile until I noticed the power cord. Really a
slick looking unit. I've put it at the top of my wish list for Christmas...

The Kindle may or may not be your best choice..particularly at the price
and capability of file formats it will display and display
properly......

You may wish to read this..... and compare...

So far..the BeBook appears to be one of the most versitile...but the
manufactures are still scrambling around trying to find out what
everyone wants most....

The Kindle 3 does look pretty good and its Wifi compatible...but it
doesnt fully support EPUB format completely yet..which appears to be the
most rapidly growing Ebook format

I rather suspect November will see a 3rd generation of ebook readers
being announched just in time for Christmas.....

Id be quite happy to get a Astek, as it reads practially everything...
