This was a great report, thanks.

The lack of the ability to do general web browsing is a very significant lack, in my opinion. I have used my Kindle 2 happily to get my Yahoo Mail and to read, say, today's NY Times. It's not as good in black and white, but it's a lot better than nothing.

The idea of getting cool things if you go into a Barnes and Noble store is ok, but Barnes and Noble stores can already be crowded, whereas I always have a seat at home.

I thought that the Plastic Logic device looked very cool, and I will evaluate it eagerly when it comes out, some say in January.
