It's nice to be able to do that without plugging into the computer.

BTW, I don't suppose it's possible to share a Kindle drive on a home network? Wireless sideloading would be nice.
Dunno about the K drive sharing. I have the only K in my household - two of my sons also have Ks, but they don't live with me. My wife is, for the nonce, a confirmed pbook reader. And with two used book stores within two blocks of our house, and a Borders three blocks away, and a really good independent shop a little further on, that's unlikely to change.

My hunch is that you might be able to share the K drive if it is plugged into a computer that you can remotely access. But I don't see much advantage to doing that. Any book you want to read on your computer can be downloaded from your Amazon account, and Instapaper will work directly - i.e., any computer you want can access your account. Is there something I'm missing?
