I do think the library access feature is huge. This "e-borrowing" feature is gonna hit Amazon where it hurts IMO. I heard a guy on a train yesterday showing his Kindle to a couple of friends -- So-o-o-o cool that he can downlad free previews of books. Uh-huh. And then you have to buy the books from Amazon. While I've been borrowing my books free on my Reader for quite some time now!

Still not inclined to buy the Daily Reader when available--don't need wireless. I'm leaning towards the Pocket 300 (portability and clarity are key for me.) Will check one out in person this week, I hope.

I get library books for my Kindle all the time. I have to convert them but it's really easy.
