Jon has this one, and it's wonderful.

I don't need to know that! :-)

No keyboard though!

This, on the other hand:

True! How would you search?

Hot plugging before anyone's seen it

Not all that interested in owning one myself (it's just another touchscreen now) but a potentially vast new platform for children's books.

Opportunity knocks!

No keyboard on it though. I think it's the same with all electronics; as soon as you buy something they upgrade it :/

[callmemadam.livejournal.com]

Very true. Although I have trouble with the keyboard I do use it.

I'll get over it. I'm never tempted to upgrade my phone and my computer is five years old.

The trouble with my new kindle is that I have a touch screen smart phone and I keep wanting to touch the kindle screen to type stuff in or use the menu and such! I expect I will get used to it when I use it more often (on journeys).

I still have no interest in succumbing ..... (I hope!)

I'm a complete convert. It doesn't stop me loving to have real books.
