OT: Kindle 2

I'm considering getting one of these for an upcoming trip. I was wondering if anyone has used one yet, and what you thought about it.

Thanks in advance...

I've got the Sony PRS-505. I love it. It's full of public domain books mostly and some audio books (it supports mp3). I don't use the Sony software, I just drag and drop.
The Amazon offering looks pretty cool though because of the EVDO network. It's like having a laptop without being tethered to anything and no signing in at hotpots. instant news and what not.

I personally use my Blackberry for the news while I'm out, but if you are need to see the stocks, sports and other things on a frequent basis, The Kinder looks like the product to get.

Just join the local library and get all the books you want,,,,,, spend the $400 on a netflix account where you can get most of the book as a DVD to watch anyways :)

Already have a library card...

I'm looking for something to read while traveling, without having to bring multiple books...

Lastly, Books >>>>>>> Movies... ;)

Thx...
