Hey all - I'm back on the horse. That is deciding on an ebook reader. I've moved and am in Costa Rica. It's been 3 months and my wife and I are finaly starting to feel the lack of books, especially with some new books out that we really want to read.

I think that the Kindle is the best choice for us, despite some of its features (Whispernet primarily) not being available outside the US. As much as I loathe DRM, a few of the non-fiction books I want to read most are available on Kindle rather than Mobipocket, and in the end, it's about reading books. At least my wife will be happy that I'm not nitpicking everything - she's just wanted a Kindle from the start :-P

Any words of warning for K2? Does the lack of SD card matter? I have to do everything using a PC anyway. And thanks to all the responses as they really helped clear things up.

ps the K1 is *still* fugly :-P
