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...

If only I could verify my ownership of many of my books and have them on a kindle after
recycling them. That would be sweet. The one down side of drm is what happens to your
library after you die?

Read some of the angry comments in the kindle feedback files. If your
kindle dies in-warranty, they give you a new one. Then you can
individually download each and every one of your titles that you saved
to the old one. 3,500? Should take you only a FEW WEEKS, if you have
nothing else to do 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. It seems that
they're not quite perfect.
