Hmmm. Hate to come in on a downer, but I despise the Kindle Store. It's full of crappy books from unknown authors, or copyright free books that are being sold on the cheap. The ones I actually want to read don't cost that much less than print, if they are avialable as ebooks in the first place..

I have no problems with the device itself (apart from its sticky power button) and thank God it allows you to side load ebooks - other wise it'd be consigned to eBay. The eInk "Pearl" display is fab (I had a Sony PRS-505 before with the previous eInk generation screen - no contest!) and it's much more snappy than the Sony was. For the money, the hardware is good.

The Kindle's other saving grace is Calibre. I could go on for hours about this program, but I suspect most people have it and know what I mean. If you don't, Google is your friend!
