As soon as I saw the Kindle 2 was available I ordered it. I think $359 is a lot but after using the Kindle for a few weeks it's worth the money. I was surprised at a lot of the classics that are available for either free or a couple of bucks. I finished Treasure Island which I hadn't read since I was a boy and am currently reading Voyage to the Center of the Earth with 3 or 4 more books all loaded up and ready to go. In fact I'm reading several at the same time. This is a great product for anyone that loves to read, I haven't tried any news papers or magazines yet. As for the unit it's really nice, a little heavier than I thought so I end up reading with the Kindle on a pillow when in bed and on the table when I read at the table. It gets a little heavy after 30 minutes or so if you are holding it. I really like all of the controls and features, I've gone back to read the users manual several times. I've also used the dictionary quite a bit, really works slick. I tried the audio feature and decided it was too robotic for me. It just isn't human but it certainly works very well if you want to use it. I guess I was looking for the fond memory of my grandmother reading the Wind in the Willows to me many years ago. In summary all I can say is get one. If you really like to read you're going to love it.

I'm just posting the link and details so anyone who might want to go can find it. I have enough material and enough going on that I don't need more information, I need to implement what I already know. I'm working hard on that now that I've got my computer problems solved. When you don't have a computer that will allow you to work efficiently on the internet, you don't do much work on the internet. Thanks, but I’m not going to the conference.
