How many of you Kindle owners will buy one right away? How many non-Kindle owners will? Why or why not?
No way. See, here's the thing. I love my Kindle exactly the way it is. I've learned its little glitches, and how to work around them.

The screen is fine as is. I read books, mostly without illustrations, so all the different shades of gray mean nothing to me.

The response time is fine as is. I read, not speed read.

An even if, IF I say, the above were not true, spending another $349 for another Kindle because its 'new'? Wasteful.
