The kindle may work but there are tradeoffs. Takeoff and landing suspend the reading pleasure. Forget sharing books and what about buying used books or donating books to libraries? While a book may never go out of print electronically, there is still something unique about hold a good book in yourhands and reading the print of paper.

I would pay $200, maybe $250, for this device, but I would gladly pay $450, maybe $500 for a two-screen device: a Kindle ePaper screen on one side, and full color HD screen on the other side for web browsing, media display (movies, photos, powerpoints), games, and email. Add a webcam and a mic for video chats (like skype), and I would happily pay $600. In such a device, I would expect 32GB of storage capacity.

I haven't seen the Kindle, but I did take a good look at Sony's eReader (or whatever it's called).
The only thing I didn't like about it besides the price was that it didn't display a whole page at a time. I thought it would be annoying to "turn" multiple pages to read one page. So I passed. Is the Kindle like that too?

Why not use a netbook as an ebook reader? That way, you're not stuck with a device suitable for just one task, and upgrading the software and hardware is much more feasible. I'm seriously considering this idea myself.

The theory is that the ebook screens are easier on your eyes, and your batteries.

And Kindle 2's going to be available outside the U.S. when again?
Not an option for us here in the UK, expats or no. ;)
