I was putting this off until Apple's announcement but while cool looking, the iPad isn't the kind of ebook reader that you can lie in bed reading for hours so I think I'm leaning towards buying a Kindle.

Is now a good time to buy one? As far as I an see, they're only available from Amazon.com but apart from needing a power adapter they work fine in the UK? Do I need an Amazon.com account as aswell as a .co.uk account to purchase books?

Are there any plans for model updates looming? Not really interested in the DX or "newspaper/magazine" models as want this to replace a bookcase or two of fiction books.

Any other advice/opinions would be welcome

Cheers
