Smile hello from.... the Philippines!

Hello everyone. I'm teammate from the Philippines and I have been wanting to get an e-reader for months now. I've read 3 or 4 books on my iPhone, but found it to be tiring and it just feels a tad bit too constricting. I don't really have issues with eyestrain, and actually appreciate the backlight that the iPhone offers. It's just that the screen is too darn small and it messes up formatting and images don't turn out too right.

I've tried reading academic PDFs on my iPhone and that was when I realized I wanted something bigger. I have my eye on the Kindle 2 right now, as its webby features are supported in my country. Eventually, I'd like to get a Que; I think it just looks darn cool and I'd really appreciate the big screen.

So anyway, maybe you guys could give me more ideas or feedback: I'm going to be using the e-reader for reading novels, non-fiction stuff like Malcolm Gladwell books, academic research PDFs, and maybe magazines even.

Will I be happy with the Kindle 2 as my first e-reader? Thanks!
