I'd been fascinated with the Kindle since it came out, but the price was too much...Then it went down in price to $359, and I had a fresh round of considerations...but ultimately decided it was still to expensive.

Then, with the Oprah promotion, it was low enough for me to convince myself to get it...

...and then like the next day or maybe it was even the day I ordered it, that I found the info on BGR with the pics and leaked stuff on the K2. So then I planned to play with the K1 for a bit, then return it and just wait for the K2 if I liked the Kindle experience.

So I paid to ship it back...then, when I heard the rumors that they were announcing on 2/9, I pre-ordered a Kindle (version 1 at the time) on 1/29...then waited anxiously to hear the announcement and to learn what they were going to do with the back-orders...

...Mine's supposed to ship between 3/9 and 3/16. Ah, the wait.....
