But alas I know myself to well and I would purchase it and if I didn't like it I would set it aside to return and 6 months later it would still be sitting where I left it. Thanks for the tip Richard.

Nothing like the screen size or the range of books, but free and easy to carry. If you have internet access go to http://mobile.booksinmyphone.com and a few clicks later you will be up and reading. Also you can install via a PC, and browse books more easily, at http://www.booksinmyphone.com You can get a lot of the kindle functionality out of a regular cell phone.

Its inventory was depleted in a little more than five hours at Amazon---the only place where it's sold. In my opinion, the Kindle really shines in the college campus domain. The option of buying college textbooks at reasonable prices in just about one minute, plus towing 200 textbooks in the palm of your hand is a bait you can't refuse. There are rumors that there is a revamped Kindle in the pipeline. If the new Kindle has more features and a reduced price, it will definitely be a hot product during the Holidays.

I'm sure it will eventually get to that, but they were probably seeing how well version 1 would do first. tafkajp wrote:
