Just wanted to say
Hello! to the community on this fantastic resource site.
I live in New York City, and I'm looking forward to owning a portable reading device some time this year to keep me company on my daily commute. I've been reading up a little on the available devices and am currently leaning towards the Amazon Kindle due to the cheaper content and connectivity, but the Sony Reader 505 is under consideration as well for its lower price, sweeter form factor and immediate availability.
I have seen just one of each device being used so far here in NYC. The Kindle sighting was a genuine surprise (especially given its apparent scarcity -- 6-week wait, anyone?). It really is very compact, and unlike some of the online dating experiences I've heard about

, actually looks more attractive in real life than in some of the images available online.
