Just looking at the newish books we want to read, the Kindle wins out. Reading pdfs and stuff would be a bonus but we want a e-reader for new books. Kindle seems to have more books at overall better prices - I just checked earlier for a book that was $25 on Mobipocket and $14 on Amazon.

Now I live outside the US, so no Whispernet for me. The Amazon account is all US based so buying/downloading should not be any problem. Aside from that, what are compelling reasons not to buy a Kindle, or not the buy one right now?

Thanks!
Why not just buy a K2 and get over it. If you can afford to fly to the Rich Coast you can afford to buy a k2. Actually, Why not get two. One K2 and a Sony; Best of two worlds. Does not make sense that you can only afford to buy one yet you are looking at prices of new books on websites????!!!!. I mean if you buy 25 books from websites you will already have bought the equiviliant of a 505, coolreader, or Eslick. Stick to the free stuff if Money is a problem.
