I enjoy my Kindle (and my Sony 500 before that) very much. And no longer buy or want to read paper books (save reference books). However, I would not have one if I have to pay 16gs for it, or even 8. I'm glad it was only $300 and hope to see readers at the $150 mark by the end of next year.

Bob, you doubled the price instead of squaring it. If you square $8,353, you get 69,772,609. (I'm not sure what "dollars squared" winds up being, though.)

Opppsss.... you are so right... and I pride myself on being good at math. I will edit my post to fix it.

Is there a way to read PDF format with the kindle or is there a way to convert PDF to the kindle format?

Well I guess the decision has been made for me with the kindle. It has a 11-12 week back order on amazon. Ebay members have about doubled the price. So I need to look at others.
