2. Any applications etc you guys recommend I should look at as a Kindle virgin?

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to being involved here.
Re 1: When you carry it around in a satchel or briefcase get some form of cover. If you have plenty bucks, buy one of those at Amazon, if no bucks get one of those A5 bubblewrap envelopes at your local stationary store. Here in South Africa I paid the equivalent of US$ 0.50. Works like a dream

Re 2: When you get Calibre spend some time understanding the Fetch News feature. It is not very intuitive, but not hard to learn either and efinitely worth the effort

Enjoy
