The only thing that worries me on the Kindle 4 is the halved battery life. I -hate- the keyboard on the Kindle 3, I couldn't care less about audio/internet browsing/etc, and the storage space is silly when I only store like 5 ebooks at a time anyway because I manage my collection with Calibre.

However, if the battery life is halved... :<

I love laying on my bed for hours reading and not having to worry about charging it every night. It may be quite annoying to get into that habit. I may go for it though. I really don't like the Special Offers (it was a gift), and I've heard you can pay an extra $30 to turn them off on the K4.
