I'm a new Kindle2 owner- this my first dedicated ebook reader (not counting Stanza/iPhone)- in Vancouver BC, a couple dozen km north of the reach of WhisperNet. The DRM and vendor lock-in of the device sticks in my craw quite a bit, but I'm thrilled to learn (from reading these forums) about the FOSS ereader platform calibre and hopeful that I can make good use of the device even without wireless delivery. What I'm particularly looking forward to is having my technical library with me all the time- I work in two places and can't justify duplicating 100's of kg of murdered trees in both places.
