Harmon. Interesting point. I have an iPhone and it's amazing how often I go on wild goose chases with it. I use it sometimes to read using Stanza and it's not too bad as long as I use my reading glasses. But I find myself searching out stuff on the web that my reading brings up. I enjoy this feature but sometimes I end up not reading the book I started on. As for the size issue. I can't imagine it being "too big." it's real lightweight and smaller than a standard sheet of notebook paper. This is one of the reasons I'm waiting until you guys get yours and use em in the real world. If Y'all hate it I can read why and be better informed and maybe save some money. So I wait. But it seems to me that once I find a sturdy carrier. Like a hard case or something then the DX portability seems pretty easy. With the Kindle2 or the DX it seems you still are going to be aware your carrying it (vs the iPhone you can put in your pocket and forget) and the "hassle" seems to me like it would be identical for the DX which is only what, 3 inches bigger? Anyway I don't really see the problem in terms of the portability.
