I know absolutely nothing of Kindle (other than it’s obvious intention of storing thousands of books to be read at anytime), but your article provided a little more education on exactly WHY it’s useful and a highly regarded piece of technology. While there’s definitely something to be said for displaying your collection of great reads on a book shelf, I think this is something I may consider putting on my Christmas list this year (especially if Amazon is NOT trapping you into extra fees to use it!)
Kudos!

It really is a great tool. You can also send your own files (PDF) to the device, though there is a small fee (maybe $.40 per document) to do this. I’ve done it several times and have been impressed with how well they display. I did hear a minor buzz that Kindle eBook prices may rise a little with Apple coming onto the scene, however. Amazon has been able to offer eBooks so inexpensively because they were recouping the cost of the books in the sales of the Kindles themselves. Hopefully the increase will be minuscule if at all!
I’d definitely put it on your Christmas list

First, I love that you’ve already seen the new Karate Kid.
Secondly, I agree. Who among us can do just one thing if we have constant distraction possibilities at a our finger tips? I would have never finished Gone With the Wind or David Copperfield if I had iTunes, a browser or anything else between myself and those pages.
My own zen advice: In order to do one thing well, do just that.
