I read dynamically, both in novels and in other types of text. It's one of the biggest annoyances about ebook readers for me, since they really are crippled for anyone who reads non-linearly.

While a lot of his points were at least partly fair, the overuse of the word kindle was extremely tiresome and the complaint about the lack of a memory card slot seems more than a little churlish when the included memory will be good for at least 500 books.

Agree on the Kindle mentions...it reminds me of the iPod drops in every music player review..."could this be the fabled iPod killer?"
Memory cards aren't just because we need more space. I much prefer to do transfers and sneakernet-style sharing with SD or CF cards. I also can use cards for many different purposes with several different devices. I have enough books to max out the internal memory, but that isn't an issue to me at all. The SD slot gives me some degree of modularity.
