I would also have a 90 degree power cord. The power part that sticks up in the eDGe already broke on me (I'm hoping it was already defective and just snapped due to that), and I'm very afraid it will happen again. Having the power cord stick straight out means that it is more likely to get bumped sideways. My hubby's ancient Thinkpad has a 90 deg cord and it seems so much more secure and safe. I would buy a 90 deg powercord if one was offered in the accessories store.

I wish special screen protectors were available in the store, too. I know many get Kindle ones for the eInk and cut to fit for the lcd, but it would sure be nice to get a set made for the eDGe - no cutting needed.

I agree about the buttons, I'm afraid they will get worn out quickly.

Otherwise, a nicer lcd and 16 shades of grey on the eInk side would be fantastic. I bet the next EE will have the better eInk screen, since the PE already does.
