Yeah the price for the size us what's got me balked on this I guess. My wife is great and doesn't mind too much I'm buying it. We spent the last 3 years paying off 15 thousand bucks worth of debt and are now DEBT FREE! I was sold on the kindle 1. Pumped when Kindle 2 came out, procrastinated ordering the Kindle 2, then got blindsided by the DX. So I've been debating the cost verses the size verses the portability every since. I carry my Sony in a sort of purse looking container. At fist I was a little self conscious about carrying a shouder strap type purse but now I dint even think about it. It's a case for the nintendo Dx I think. (like a hand held playstation) my Sony reader fits perfectly a d it us fairly padded. I've been trying to imagine what another 8 ounces of weight added to the Sony reader experience would be like and I can't imagine it would be unbearable. I tend to hold my reader in both hands anyway. So I'm convinced (obviously trying to convince myself here) that the DX is right for me. I think my reluctance to order it stems from spending the last 3 years pretty much buying nothing to get out if debt. I sold my motorcycle and cancelled a few monthy items like Cable TV. (haven't missed it a bit) Now to buy such an expensive non essential item... I'm out of the habit. But I'm doin it. I am. I promise!!!! 'C'mon! Just jump!' I need a push. The verdict is in. Maybe I could get Obama to give me some of that sweet invented stimulus money.... (no offense meant, that was a throwaway remark)
