Great poll! I particularly like 1) that you included most of the options I would have thought of and 2) that I can pick more than one option instead of having to agonize over which is most important.

I should have picked "love anything shiny--just like a crow" but I didn't because I thought that wasn't a "good" reason. But I do, and sometimes I buy things because of it. Though I bought the Kindle for solid economic reasons. Yeah. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I want the *new* Kindle because it is shiny. With the better screen and the better web browser and the better pdf-handling and all.
