Sorry to see you leave the fold. Maybe you'll consider one of the new Sony Readers as well. Hope you enjoy whatever device you go with.
Edit: Saw your post on the Kindle forum. Did you have to call a rooted NC a poor man's iPad? You tried something and decided it wasn't for you. Why bash the device that other people derive enjoyment from. We all know that reading on an LCD or an eink device is a matter of personal preference. I work in IT and stare at LCDs all day. I don't have an issue with reading for long periods of time on the device. That doesn't make your claim an invalid one.
Are you looking for folks in the Kindle forum to pat you on the back and tell you it's good you came to your senses? Then everyone will chime in about real readers read on eink devices. Yada, yada, yada. Then the usual cast of characters will go back and forth about lcd vs. eink and eyestrain or lack thereof.
