I would like to enter to win a Kindle 2.

I bought my Kindle 1 on Ebay in March, and I do love it, but there are two major reasons I want to upgrade:

1) I think the Kindle 2 would be easier for me to carry in my backpack on my chair.

2) It doesn't look like the Kindle 1 is getting any firmware improvements, and I would love to be able to run software like Savory to get native PDF support.

3) Amazon somewhat disappointed me with their decision to make the follow-up to the Kindle 2 both more expensive and larger. My original plan (when I won the auction) was to wait for the Next Big Thing from Amazon before I upgraded my Kindle 1, since certain things, like PDF support and color, weren't ready yet. With the DX being over-sized for my needs, and a color Kindle "years" away, according to Bezos, it's looking more and more like the Kindle 2 is the device for the rest of us, now.

Anyway, thanks for the chance!
