I actually don't mind the look of the kindle 1. It's not as cool as my PRS-505, but it has a kind of apple IIe retro look that appeals to me. I think keyboards are great. I would like the next PRS to have one (maybe like the Libri). And the whispernet is way cool, not for book ordering, but for Wikipedia. I don't like the larger size. I think going smaller would have been the way to go. Text to speech is interesting... I wonder how good it is.
