How about you guys start a new thread on this (because it is an interesting discussion) and let this one go back to brief "now that I've had mine a few days" reactions?
I'll get back to the point. I have now had my Kindle for 2 days now. Used it yesterday in my commute to San Francisco on BART. I read the SF Chronicle which was an okay experience. Reading the paper on the Kindle or any ereader isn't the same.

I have noticed that my battery level is now less then half after 2 days. Yesterday I kept the wireless off most of the day but that quick discharge is somewhat concerning me. My Sony Reader wasn't a worry at all.

One other quick point was on my return trip home yesterday on BART I had a couple question me about what I had in my hand and after explaining it to them they were all jazzed up about the idea of reading off the Kindle and were amazed at how the screen was so readable. Needless to say, I didn't get much reading done on my way home last night :-)
