I...I have the same draw to the Kindle that you do. I would love to have all of my books accessible anytime I wanted to read them. I haven't really looked into what kind of space availability it has, but maybe it has room for expansion, or could kind of be like an iPod for books.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'd love to have one for $200, but I really can't see spending more. My only concern about the product really is that it's proprietary to Amazon. They do have a large selection of books and good prices, but it'd be nice if they also use other types of digital books. Perhaps one day there will be a converter, the same way mp3s can be used in iTunes, but are converted to another format for use.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I love the idea, I'm just not sure how exactly it will work in practice and I'm unwilling to invest a lot of money until I know.<BR/><BR/>I think Amazon has a download manager, at least for mp3's, so you probably can re-download items if you lose the digital file. I'm not positive though.<BR/><BR/>And Ex would disagree with you about book abuse. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429263099197981481noreply@blogger.com
