International kindle
I bit the bullet and despite reservations ordered the kindle international edition about 10 days ago. Three days ago I recieved an email to say that it had shipped. Actually I bought 2, one for my wife and one for myself.

I have a cybook gen3 but geographic restrictions are impacting on me very heavily and I think mobipocket is destined to not make it. The 160 000 books available to South Africa have tipped the scale for me.

My concern is that I have heard that the rollout of the kindle is premature and the wireless facility will not be available. That does not bother me too much but what other concerns are there around this device. It is a bit late now as it is on the way but has anyone else heard any negative news on this device?
