It fixed most of Kindle's screwups, added openness (pc, mac, BB...), has the wifi for instant connectivity, and so on. The downsides I'm seeing are so far no hint of folder support (which isn't a downside for *everyone*, but it is for me) and limited format support-(again, this isn't a dealbreaker for everyone). With ePub, eReader, and PDF, plus the customizability (is that a word?) for the screensaver, which Kindle made you work for, plus the LendMe feature, I think they've got a winner.
It does sound pretty good at this point. Add to that the ability to check it out in store which I think will be a biggie for a lot of people. I know you can buy a K and return in 30 days with no restocking fee (and this is only 14 days plus a restocking fee if opened), but some folks don't want the hassle.
