I feel the need to point out that the email feature is really only convenient (relatively speaking) for Kindle 3 owners. You can set it up to always send documents directly to your Kindle via your *@free.Kindle.com (so that they always go via wifi) free of charge... yada, yada.

To get documents delivered directly to your K2 or DX (no wifi) you are going to be charged a small fee. And if you send documents to your *@free.kindle.com, they go to your Amazon account's associated email address... and you still need to transfer them to your Kindle via USB cable.

So while there are still some times that I use my Kindle's email address... with K2's/DX's, there's no; "Woohoo!! This is really frickin' handy, free, and great!" feeling. But yeah, I can see K3 owners really digging it.
