Welcome to MobileRead.
Something you might want to consider.......Amazon has a 30 day, no questions asked, return policy.....you just pay the postage. You can play with it to your hearts content, download books, see how it works for you, and you are only out postage if you don't like it.
BN has a 10% restocking fee.......comes out to about $25.
Amazons customer service for the Kindle is outstanding......
