It's a good "problem" to have.

As to luck, two quotes;

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” - Seneca

“I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.” - Thomas Jefferson

Perhaps instead, you have earned where you are and what you have.

I do agree that different things may have cinched the decision for different people. While I only mentioned the wireless access, I do the Kindle injustice by not recognizing that it was the total package that sold me. Massive content, search, annotation, wireless, etc. etc. What a strong package. I was aware of ebook readers before (never owned one) but this is the device that persuaded me that perhaps this was something that would be worthwhile to me, and worthwhile to support with my money.

Now, the one reservation I have at this point is getting this great package in a device that won't break on me overnight like my first one has done. This innovative device serves me no purpose if it is unreliable and will not function when I need it to function.
