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.  |
The free samples is such a GREAT concept. I want to read all sorts of things and hear what all types of people have to say about it. In my mind, even before using a kindle, I feel like it's already opening up a huge world for me.
I really liked the 505 too. Just that screen was so beautiful! I had the silver one with the tan brown leather cover. What a gorgeous combo.
Too bad the Cole Haan covers have those odd corner straps and not the clickity thingamabob side hook patented mechanism to hold the book in place. I think that dark brown straps against the white kindle will be distracting, so I went with the Amazon leather cover with the secure hooks. Otherwise I would have bought the soft-skin brown Cole Haan cover, yeah, it's expensive but I can imagine that folding back the beautiful leather cover must feel so good
