Robin, any idea when you will have access to whispernet. I guess without it you can’t download books to the Kindle wirelessly. Since I live in the DC area, I’ve not given access to whispernet much thought.

I won’t buy ANY generation or type of Kindle until whispernet is available where I live.

I can’t justify buying the device and then paying $10/book.

I do all my reading for free… that is why I pay taxes and support my local library. In the off chance they don’t have it and can’t get me a copy… half.com for a few bucks.

MK, I’ll definitely review it in more detail when I get it. You’re right that $10 a book is steep. I’m hopeful the prices come down, particularly as more competition enters the market. Sources say Apple plans to enter the digital reader market.

I don’t know if I’m sold. 10 dollar a book? I buy a lot of mine used and can get them for a lot less than that! and nothing beats holding a paper book in your hands curled under a blanket. My Boyfriend is trying to sell me on it though! so we’ll see!

Hope you write another blog once you receive yours and let us all know how it is!
