That argument makes a lot of sense to me, Alisa. The benefits of having an easy-to-use device right now that I can always carry around with me is just too hard to put off. We can all speculate about what incredible things might be coming out later, but I'm living in the present. I want access to the great new books I can find in the kindle store and the immediacy of getting them when I want! That's what kindle's all about and why I'm happy to have one.
