I would have to make Mr M wear little sox so he didn't damage the screen. If I had an iPad that is. *sigh*

Unless you need the expansion card slot (as Shel mentioned) I would recommend the Kindle 2 over the 1. It is much sleeker and easier to use. You don't press buttons accidentally while holding it. And it runs faster than the 1.

A Kindle 3 is said to run faster yet, but I haven't seen one. And I'm not sure I would like the buttons as much as my Kindle 2.

I own both the model 1 and the model 2 (two of those).
I like the 3rd generation because the screen is sharper and also because it's smaller and lighter yet has the same size viewing area. Although you have to be careful picking it up because it's easier to hit the page turn buttons inadvertently.

I believe this is a household of declawed kitties. I don't have great screen resolution on this little netbook, but I didn't see any claws out at all.

Right now, I'm trying to decide if I want to make dinner or just eat a box of chocolates.

Guess which choice is going to win.

That would depend on which type of alcohol you have to go with it.

Strider and Arwen are VERY good about not using their claws on most things, you hardly ever see them!

I have to agree. I like my buttons on the K2 and I'm reluctant to upgrade to a K3.

My cat may not touch that screen, but the iFishpond is irresistible. When I show it at work, everybody wants to stir the water with their fingers; to scare up the fishes, or to put some frogs on waterlilylleaves.

Am doing..........still making my mind up, wether I will or won't iron these huge pieces of underwear of my mother in law, that I'm washing right now.
