Anyone on here using one of these? I've been thinking about getting one the first of the year when we get back to Tombstone. But, tonight I found out I can buy the books for them and read them on my PC with their free Kindle reader for the PC. Pretty cool. Downloaded a sample of "The Hobbit" and it displayed perfect and was very easy to read. Some books are as low as $1.43.

I've heard some "rare" cases that they can revoke rights to books bought through amazon, so I'd stay away from it (if I buy the darned thing I expect to keep it). I think I'd go for an ipad though, it's sexy...

I wonder what price tag they'll be looking at... I'd love to have one, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford it anytime soon (business slow, finances wrecked, etc)

Same here!! A friend does home audio integration and is starting to use the ipad and a remote control to control all audio, lighting, etc. I can only imagine what can come to gpad hopefully it will be great and not too much $$, lol.

Nothing from Apple for me. Since most of my reading would be done at home, my laptop is working prefect for me. Found "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" on Amazon for no cost and it downloaded in less than 10 seconds. Been reading it with their free reader and it's quite nice. Not as easily 'portable' as the Kindle, but better than having a book to figure out where to store when done.

How's that working for you?

I still may get a Kindle after the first of the year, only because it's so much easier to take with me when I'm sitting someplace and have time to kill.
