-dressing it up in a coat and hat and taking it for a walk.

But there are many of us who just enjoy using their Kindle to read a book.
One book.
One page at a time.
At home, in a chair.
Maybe one or two other books on there to choose from if I happen to finish the one I'm reading.

In that regard... the Kindle is perfect. I hope they stay focused on the meat & potatoes and keep the fluff to a minimum.
You nailed this one. I couldn't agree more. Unless you plan on getting stranded on a desert island there isn't a reason I can think of to have 500 books at a time on the thing.
