Hi! Just wanted to say that in a few days I'll be receiving the new kindle basic - the 2nd gen touchscreen. I'm not happy with the choice (not happy with the touchscreen or the limited native formats), but that's the only viable option for my very limited budget and for also the "great" CS. I'm quite contrary to this new Amazon firmware politics... If you're interested in anything regarding my device, pm'ed me
Hope I'll be helpful as I can.
