I just read through the article,and I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a friend last night,who hates his Kindle.Well-he likes it but he hates all the additional subscription charges-in fact he said he preferred to just go to his computer or look from his blackberry at times.

I am hopeful that I will get to see a Kindle 2 on the subway or a plane sometime-and take a look.I did get to play with a kinlde 1 in starbucks last month,and compared to my 700 I prefered the Kindle screen-but aesthetically it was not pleasing-plus the guy with the kindle kept complaining that he kept losing his place with accidental page turns.

For me personally,I like my 700bc (and adored my 505 which met an untimely death,apparently by elbow).I don't see myself doing any reading on a smart phone or PDA these days..been there done that-my eyes prefer larger devices (and my optician is probably missing my less frequent need for adjustments *S* )
