Currently thinking of getting a Kindle 1 (or possibly 505) if I can get a good deal on Ebay/Craigslist.

Probably the best bet for me as $200 is about the most I'm willing to pay for an ereader since I wouldn't use it nearly as much as most around here. And it will be a long time before the Kindle 2 is available at that price.

Bidding on a Kindle 1 now that was bought in Jan 2009 (so still has warranty) with 2GB SD guard. If I can get it for under $200 I'll bite (below that now with 14 hours left).
