Although I am yet to recieve the sacred grail of my Kindle 3, I too share the sentiments of this post. If I wanted to do all these things I would buy a netbook or laptop or iPad (*spit*) or other tablet. I can do all the things listed above on my phone/pc/laptop/HTPC/DVR but none of them I believe provides me with what the Kindle will.........which is a proper electronic reader. Design concerns, and buttons I can accept but larger RAM, fast processors and all that jazz not for me for this machine.
