But as we all know, that ussually isn't the case. I generally know in advance what's on the box, they ussually don't like to tell you all the little quirks. So that's my theory.

Being a 40-something not looking for drama either and owning the Softbook Reader, RCA 1100 and RCA 1200 I can say confidently you'll probably want the Kindle 2 if your 1100 is about to kick the bucket.
In the end the Kindle 2 just works, with very little drama, because you don't need a PC. So long as you don't mind paying for content.
You will also probably be able to easily, and with little drama, be able to migrate your 1100 book shelf forwards to the Kindle 2 via the offices of the good folks at Fictionwise. Again, if you've been paying for content.
If your 1100 can totter forward another year you might choose to hold out and get a color reader.
And don't think I'm trying to hint you're a pirate. Just you see lots of drama around here from folks that spend a heck of a lot of time chasing around after free content. Some people collect stamps, other people scan old books into ebooks.
