Wikipedia is great, I love to hit the random button and just read up on everything...
So true. I have my 505 listed on Ebay and it will sell this week. I really liked it but I think the K2 is going to be awesome! I think it is going to be used a lot and I will have to chain it to myself or my hubby will be "stealing" it! We both are very curious people and the ability to look up subjects on Wikipedia and the dictionary is going to be great. And I already have a number of e-books on Amazon that I want to read the free samples on before considering buying. Geez, with 230,000 books, I can instantly download and read hundreds of samples just to wet my appetite!
Mine is scheduled for delivery on 25th, but haven't seen it "shipped" yet, on Amazon, just pending. And you are right, I can't remember the last time I anticipated a UPS delivery so much.
