I'm going for it. I'm replacing my Kindle DX US with the Kindle touch. Just ordered it. I hope I can sell my DX for enough to pay for the Touch. I should be able to I think. I decided to go for the ad supported one. $40 extra just seems too much for the ad-free one. I'm also going to try to get a cheaper case than the $40 Amazon one, which is a freakin ripoff. How can the case cost 40% of the device? I'm thinking $25 max for a case.

Sadly, I opted for the wifi only model. 3G is handy but I really didn't use it all that much since I have an iphone 4. 50% extra just wasn't worth it.

I'll be paying for my upgrade with my old kindle which is awesome.
