My Kindle finally arrived and already I'm buying books from my armchair. While I love the printed word, I have to say this device solves a number of problems for the frequent traveler/reader. I can tote a couple of hundred books with me without lugging half the forrest.A few technical issues need to be improved in the next version. Those page turn buttons should be smaller and the on/off switch should be bigger and on top or somewhere other than the back. Still, after 1/2 an hour, I was comfortable with the unit. Screen is fine, buttons work great.The list of books grows and I hope to see millions of titles soon. This unit will not replace my library but it will make travel more comfortable. Furthermore, when you travel to places that have very few books for sale you can be confident you won't go brain-dead for lack of reading.
