3) It has a teeny tiny keyboard instead of a touch screen like half a million phones manage to have
4) I can't read PDF documents (not the way they look on a PC anyway)
5) It's not a reading device it's a Amazon e-book selling device
6) I've got a PC (4, in fact) and a BB. I don't NEED another wireless device.
7) Searching for a "free" e-book on Amazon is frustrating. I don't want to read romance or "undiscovered" authors or born-again.
I figure I can sell this thing on Craigslist and for $200 get enough used paperbacks to last me until they come out with something truly useful.
Please convince me otherwise.

I won't even try to. You obviously don't like your gift. Well, you don't have to, I've been told USA is a free country.
But someone tried to make you happy by buying you a Kindle.
If you dislike the Kindle, trade it for another reading device.
If you dislike ereaders - give it back to the person who gave it to you, and explain him/her that Kindle just isn't the right gift for you.
Selling the Kindle and then buying a bunch of other books or whatever... lets just say, that if I had given you a 260$ gift to find out you sold it and spent the money on [whatever] I would give you a backhanded slap and never look at you again.
