The slow processor and screen make it painful. But if your download speed is good, having access to content on the go is really very nice. It's a good tie-in with the samples. You can read the samples then buy the book whenever even if your not at home. WiFi would be less convenient for that.

It seems that every Kindle owner jumps on me when I state the slow downloading of my Kindles. Yep, plural. I had the K2 replaced twice because of the slow downloading. All three have been just as slow. I suspect it is the terrible Sprint network in my area, but then again I live in the middle of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. If a metro area with over 6 million people and flat terrain cannot have better Sprint coverage, I can only imagine what rural coverage what be like.
