Probably another unit, having WLAN. Might be worth waiting...

Question is, why you're interested in Kindle.
Is it the unit itself or the Amazon bookstore?
I might wait to see what happens with Amazon and the UK Kindle.

The reason I am interested in a Kindle is that I feel Amazon can supply the content and at a reasonable price. I also have an iPhone and an iPod Touch and love the way I would be able to continue reading on whichever device I choose. The downside is that I am concerned about being locked into the Amazon DRM system which gives them enormous power. I did have a Sony 505 but returned it because the display was terrible in full sunlight. I got quite adept at converting to and from different formats because I could only find the books I wanted in certain stores which used specific forms of DRM.

Should the need arise in the future, I assume it would be possible to convert Amazon ebooks into another format?
