Okay, I'm going out for my morning walk, I expect my new Kindle to be on the porch step when I get back.
It should arrive any moment now

Kindle Glowlight Upgrade Kit

This is not the new Kindle but it's a really nice glowlight upgrade for existing models.

I'm happy with my Nexus 7. I've installed Kindle, Kobo and Amazon Kindle reader on it, a few games and lots of other apps. Hardly used a third of the 16gb storage, even with 300 books. I have unlocked it, so I can add more storage (have a 32 gb thumb drive which works with it) so I can put films etc on it.
I think where the Nexus 7 wins is that it has Android Jellybean straight out of the box, so you don't have to mess with it to get it how you want it (I unlocked it because I like to play, but you really don't have to).
I have a Kindle Keyboard, but I hardly ever use it any more. Have a Nook Touch, too, which I like, but keep it for long journeys and beach reading.

A bit more comedy from Amazon to help pass the time until we can hit the buy now buttons:

Bic is actually marketing a pen "just for her". The reviews are the funniest I've ever read.

Hopefully the paperwhite won't be a paper-wait.

Wouldn't mind a 4x3 SXGA (1280x1024) in 8in size. It would be a nice gesture to Apple: "Bring it!"
What would be even more interesting would be if somebody went with a 15:10 ratio, still fine for books and web pages or video and dead on for some mags and comics.

Interesting that the basic one is AWOL, maybe that means the touch will drop down to that price and part of the range.
