There are plenty of worthy alternatives to the Kindle as long as you are okay with very limited methods of content delivery.
Kindle's killer feature is, without a doubt, the ability to download new content anywhere that you are that has Sprint coverage.
This is an extremely powerful feature that cannot be over-emphasized.
My wife had put a Kindle 1 on order for me at the end of 2007 but we canceled the order when March rolled around and it still had not shipped.
In the mean time I have increasingly loathed buying paper books, waiting for them to ship, hauling them around, losing my place in them, etc. Not to mention the annoyance of storage of the books after reading.
I very much expect that I will be getting a Kindle 2 for my birthday late this spring!
