My Kindle arrived about an hour and a half ago... so far the experience has been very positive. Previously I used my Nokia 770 but have been lusting after e-ink for quite a while now.
The boxing on the Kindle was very apple-esque and made it feel like an event to open; plugged it into power and turned it on, and in about a minute and a half the screen came up with a personalized greeting "Dear Robert" with no setup required on my part. Read the greeting, looked over the on-line manual, and went to the menu and Lo! the books I had bought yesterday were already downloaded and ready for reading.
Plugged in the device to my Mac via USB and proceeded to load up the books I've purchased from Webscriptions.Net as well as much of the Baen free library (all as Mobipocket PRC files), and everything has been working happily with no conversion needed.
So far so good.
