Well, my wife who reads more of the current best seller stuff than I, has been quite jealous of the Amazon prices, so this could be quite the boon for her. I had tried to give her my Sony when I was getting rid of it, but she didn't want it, and doesn't particularly want to carry an additional device.
She may need to wait until more features are implemented, though. She reads on her iPhone (with eReader) for hours at a time, but she prefers reading in landscape. If the Kindle app won't even rotate, that may give her fits... at least until the next time she wants a book, but doesn't want to pay $25 for the ebook.
Did I read right, that you have to swipe, you can't turn the page with a tap? I may not last long on it myself. If I remember correctly, that really frustrated my wife, too, until I showed her how to change the settings in eReader. I'll download it today myself and see just how basic it is.
