Amazon Kindle: A Road Warrior's Best Friend

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?
