Have a Kindle-2 and a Sony-505 and use and enjoy both.

However, while Amazon exploded the concept of e-reading, clearly the iPad is setting a new direction. And like it or not, that is where we are all headed. There is no doubt that the future is going to be a tablet type device color touchscreen Bluetooth webcam USB port(s) lighter more memory and eventually color eInk. Don't bet that Amazon isn't shooting for a tablet device but with color eInk and that Apple isn't out there exploring the future of color eInk for the Ipad (they are also looking into OLED techonolgy for screens but it is pricey). And Google already has a tablet device in the works.

In the meantime, my K2 and Sony work fine and dandy for reading and my laptop does just about everything else - plus the cell phone. But oh my my my, to have one wonderful device that does it all brilliantly makes me drool. The future of WiFi virtually everywhere and cloud computing - bring it on!
