Yes, I agree that the Kindle store is one of the best features, at least for me. I just like the one-stop convenience of direct-downloads to the Kindle (and the selection/prices). The sync between device is cool also - I can continue reading my book on my PC if I have a break at work, and the new page place is synced when I use the Kindle at home.

The only feature I'd like now is PDF-reflow, but it's not an emergency since landscape mode displays goodsized characters and the large screen holds a reasonable amount of lines. I can also convert the PDF files if I want to.

I am starting to get intrigued by the social highlighting feature. Never seen anything like that before. Will this develop into a global-book-club feature using Twitter or FB?

So far, it is much more versitile than I had expected. I've even WWW browsed a bit and played some games. The 3G network is great - used it from London and around Greece. The daily Amazon "recommendation" emails are a bit of an annoyance....but I'd do the same if I were in Amazon mktg!

Considering that I read so much (fiction) it is well-worth the price. I actually like both the jetBook(5") and Kindle(9.7") about the same, but for different reasons, and between them they meet all my reading/playing needs.

Thanks for the good wishes!
