Actually the Kindle 1 (purchased on ebay for a good price) does have some very good and valid uses (sans Whispernet - I've taped the Whispernet switch to the "off" position). It is good for proff reading my scanned & OCRed writings because it has the ability to highlight sections while I'm proof reading. This makes it much easier to find thaose errors for correction in my word processor.

Also it is quite easy to DL Amazon books (usually only the free ones mentioned here on MR) that I want, to my computer and transfer them to the Kindle.

So I am enjoying my Kindle 1 but most of my reading is on my EZ Reader. Only proof reading on my Kindle 1.
