Thanks. I actually saw a kindle2 in person yesterday. A guy in Church had one. He kept trying to explain all the features to me and I kept going... Yes I know I know. The font size was sufficient even without reading glasses but again, the word count across the screen was low. I was amazed at how bright the text was and white the screen compared to my old Sony500. The page turns are waaaay faster, slim and sleek, the construction seemed waaaay more solid and it felt stronger and less subject to flex. He had the neoprene slip case. I'll probably go with that for now....

Man I wish they would hurry up and ship my DX!!!
