I'm in Aurora -- just a tad bit south of you. Have you visited a Borders Bookstore? Some (all?) of them have the Sony reader on display, so you can touch it, see it.
I personally LOVE the Kindle (I just ordered a Kindle 2 and I already own the Kindle 1). The Kindle isn't shown in any storefront (sold at amazon.com) BUT I could arrange to meet you and show you mine, since you are so close.
Enjoy the wealth of info you'll find here!

Hello, Deb...or at least I guess that is part of your name!
I had started to go into Woodfield Mall a while back to the Sony store, but never got around to it. Then I did see that Borders have the Sonys. I went to Borders in Geneva to take a look. I did see readers, but did not find anyone there who knew anything about them. Oh well, at least I saw (and held) them. The slimness (new word??) is amazing, isn't it!
I am in line for a K-2, supposedly shipping on 02-24. Let's see how they (Amazon) handle their shipping priorities. In fact, this will be interesting to watch as it unfolds. I ordered my K-2 on 02-09, if I remember correctly.
And then I fell into a Sony 500, "nearly new" on eBay for $142.50. It should be here in the next day or two, which gives me time to check it out and still cancel the K-2 if I choose to. However, I suspect I will keep both, as I am a sucker for toys. And from all the reading I have done, these two readers usually come out on top, with a significant gap between the two on compatability.
Anyway, Thanks for the welcome, and will be seeing you around. I had NO IDEA "reading" was going to be so much work!!
