You'd want a reasonable cover to protect it though. A PB360 might also be good as it's small, highly functional and has the cover built in (no 3G though or wifi though).

Sorry, can you confirm, on the kindle 2 can you use the browser over any wifi connection that you can find in the same way as the 1.3 firmware upgrade on the nook allows you to? From what I've heard the 3g on both devices is limited to their own stores but I am becoming interested in wi-fi enabled devices due to the nooks $149 price in the US.
