I'm REALLY excited abou this little doo-dad. I have been compulsivly checking my Amazon account, bank account and email for any signs of my Kindle shipping for over a week now even though I knew full well it was way too early but now it's getting close.

I've read just about evey review so now I feel so much like I already have one that I had a dream about it last night and woke up lookin on the nightstand for it. Sick, I know.

My only complaints so far are Amazons' departure from their normally excellent disclosure and tracking and the insane price. I'd like to have a better idea of the order-to-ship hang-time and I'd like to see more of these in the hands of people who make under six figures. Hell, I just made that for the first time in my life and Im a 45 year old professional. Back when I was in school and actually had time to read I could not have afforded one. Mainly because eventhough $400 was about $100 in 1983 dollars, that was a little more than I ever seemed to have liquid at any given point.

Anyway, I've babbled on long enough. I gotta go check my email.

Thanks again for posting. It really helps.
I know the $400 seems like a lot (well, it is a lot) but if one just has an EVDO contract the bill would be that or more in a year or so. I expect Amazon may actually be able to drop the price a bit once enough are out there for long enough to fulfill their agreement with Sprint.
