I am sticking with my Kindle 1. Of course I bought it in September of last year so it is still a baby. Like some of the features of the K2 but not enough to drop $359. I don't think and feel that Amazon owes any of us anything. Lots of whining about deserving discounts, etc... for upgrading. Why on Earth do you think they should do that. It is ridiculous. In another year or so I might upgrade. Been really happy with my K1.

On a separate note: Linda, The K1 came with a USB cable to hook up to your computer if you want to. You can transfer books using it. If you are outside the country you can still browse to Amazon and buy books. They will be available in your account to download immediately and will sit patiently to download via Whispernet (if you have not manually moved them) the next time you turn it on in the US. You should not have any issues with buying via the web outside the US.
