I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are on Kindle 2.0. To me it looks like Kindle 1.0 in a nicer dress, which is saying a lot. It's still kinda inelegant looking though with that massive keyboard. Why not a tiny cellphone like keyboard and a bigger screen? Or even a touch keypad like the iPhone. It's a reader how much do you rely on the keyboard anyway.

The only thing that makes me jealous as a 505 owner is the Wispernet. But that alone is really tempting me to switch now that it's in a less goofy casing. I'm feeling so conflicted now. Thankfully the Kindle is still overpriced so that should stop me right in my tracks.

What's everyone else thinking?
