I preordered 2x WiFi Kindle!!!! This is the perfect kindle for my and my wife's use. We do not need 3G. They improved a lot in the hardware also which I like very much compared to K2. Perfect price point tempting anyone to take the plunge!

Wonder how long before the competition reacts? The prices for the Sony 300 and 600 now officially look like jokes.

I think if Sony does not step up to plate very soon they will loose this war like they did with Betamax (sp?). Amazon really surprised me this past month and Sony and B&N are now trailing far behind. The Nook seems to be on or near par with the K2, but this changes everything. I'm sure glad I just sold my PRS900!

Looks tempting especially the battery duration.
Can last a month (with the wireless off) and 3 weeks (with the wireless on)..Sound irresistible. I probably ask my uncle in UK to get me one. |

Is Amazon dumping this to kill off competition, or are its competitors simply overcharging?
Anyway, extremely tempting, but my heart is set on 1 9+" reader. Perhaps I should just get one anyway, to tide me over. |

It's really disappointing we STILL can't buy one straight from Amazon though, isn't it. I guess I will have to have AMEX jump through the hoops for me again - for a fee, of course - in order to get a long promised Kindle for my wife.

Woohoo, you can sync up collections between two Kindles. From the manual;

I would love one of these. The higher contrast screen would be great. If you download a book via wifi will it be cheaper? It should be because there will be no charge to the 3g network provider.
