I can't really get the kindle since I'm not in the USA but I was just reading up about the kindle 2 out of curiosity and I am floored they removed the sd slot for 2 gig of internal memory.
This would be a total deal breaker for me. I use a HTC Advantage for reading and keep all my library on it, which is slowly getting larger and larger. Getting close to 1 gig now in my library. It would drive me nuts to reach a point where I had no room left to keep all my books on a device or sorted on a sd card for it.
I realise you could still keep them on pc or redownload from Amazon but it would be a pain for me to choose what to delete and what to keep. I re read a lot.
I just had to comment. I am totally floored!
Otherwise it looks like a nice device.
