I rarely leave my house so my PC IS my major viewing device for all my life activities including reading, investing, banking, gaming, chatting, etc. When I do leave my house, I use my car and the only device I carry there is my Garmin GPS. Reading and driving do not mix.
The Kindle could be a good supplementary reader for waiting in offices or when accompanying my wife going shopping. However, I still require a PC Reader for my usual life style.
I would want to be able to sync my bookmarks and notes between the Kindle and my PC Reader. A good compromise would be for Amazon and Microsoft to cooperate so that Microsoft Reader could read Amazon Kindle files. If that cooperation happened, I would definitely buy the Kindle as my SUPPLEMENTARY Reader.
If that happens, I would hope that the Kindle would also be able to read MS Reader files as well. Then I could use all my present book files on my PC and on my Kindle and have a wide variety of sources where I can purchase books.
Failing all that, I prefer to stick to Microsoft Reader for PC viewing of books.
