I want a Kindle so I can use non-English dictionaries and have text to speech, but I am waiting to see what tidings Apple and others bring at the big trade shows. I am taking a very time-consuming course until March, in addition to my job, so I will wait until after the course is done and see what's going on

I love my iPod Touch and always felt an oversize ipod would be my ideal device, but if it is just pretty and doesn't have features I am currently lacking, I can probably talk myself out of it. The text to speech is pretty important to me since I don't have a car and hence am always walking to the bus stop etc. And an on-board French dictionary would be a huge benefit to me and worth buying a new device.
