All eReadesr get obsolete VERY FAST. I purchased a Sony PRS 900 for $ 400 in December, 2009. The Kindle WiFi 3 has made that totally obsolete. I couldn't even give it away to my kids or grandkids. Hopefully, my son-in-law's mother MAY accept it for a Christmas gift.

I fully expect this Kindle WiFi 3 will be obsolete by the end of 2011 at which time color eInk will be all the rage with even more features which cannot be even imagined today.

So far I am paying more for the eReaders than the ebooks I read using them. Its well worth it for me since I am a gadget freak buying the latest and greatest of every innovation under the sun. As an example I now have three electronic bibles (including one as the Osnova 3 for the Kindle WiFi) numbering Kindle WiFi, Franklin and NowBible. All of them will be obsolete in less than 6 months in all probability.
