It's too bad my husband wouldn't use my Kindle 1... otherwise I'd have ordered a Kindle 2. I think the improvements outweigh the "cons"

Here's how I justify the con's - I have a 4GB card in my Kindle 1. I barely use 1GB of it, and think I have too many books on it for practicality sakes. so only 1.5GB user storage on a K2 is more than enough at any given time
No cover - I hated the cover the Kindle 1 came with anyway and ended up buying a Medge, so good for Kindle for not including the cheaper cover that most of would end up replacing anyway
The battery issue - I've never had problems with my current battery, I'd hope the Kindle 2 battery is just as good.

I would really like the smaller form factor. The Kindle 1 stays in my purse at all times. You never know when you'll be waiting for someone and have a few minutes by yourself for some quality reading time.
