Why change things too much when you can't even keep the current version in stock?

the Kindle is just as closed as the Sony Readers. where the sony can read LRFs, the kindle can read PRCs and Mobi. their not being able to read books you buy from amazon on the computer is their only Pitfall in this department. other than that, Kindle books genearlly are the cheapest out there.
the Kindle Grows on you, but i do think its too large, why does the keyboard need to be there, when 99.5% of the time you will never use it. anyway, when the Kindle gets a touch screen eventually, im sure it will be the prettiest device on the market.
