@Stevo: The PDF support is very basic and you aren't missing out much. There's no zoom feature for example - it fits to width. It's okay for PDFs you generate yourself.
Kindle 2 pro et contra:
PRO:
Dictionary (I could even add a translation dictionary)
Easy note-taking (a physical keyboard works much better for me than an on-screen)
Wikipedia lookup (I've always looked up stuff I read about - this makes it even easier)
Good ergonomics (weight, button placement, holding it)
CON:
Few native book formats
PDF support is very basic
I can only buy it from USA, which added ~$80-90 in taxes and fees to import
It's a great device for non-techies ... if they live in USA. Added download fees, plus being locked into an American bookstore makes this the ebook reader I would not recommend to, for example, my mother.
