I have been thinking about waiting too. There is no perfect ereader. I have been changing my mind back and forth driving my wife nuts. Then this week I came home with a stack of books. Now the bookcase I JUST cleared is overflowing again.
As soon as I finish the book that I am currently reading, I will get a KSO. Tubemonkey convinced me. Besides I will want to upgrade to a touch device in a year or maybe 6 months
, so save the 25. The Kindle may not have touch interface, but its great to read on, has most of the features I want and is comfortable to hold.
Besides the lighted case will be very nice and make up for the keyboard.
