    Deb just got her Kindle last night. I think the Kindle is GREAT. Yes, it is easy to accidentally hit the right-hand Next-Page button when holding a Kindle. But I hold it at the bottom when reading so it's not a very bad problem - just a minor annoyance.

    Features I like:
    - Display is GORGEOUS! High resolution and awesome contrast. For print - better than an LCD display.
    - I don't think it looks cheap at all. The device feels light weight, but solid.
    - Interface is simple an intuitive.
    - You can bookmark, annotate, or "clip" whole pages to save markers, or your thoughts. Your clippings file can be transfered to a computer (via USB only, I think).
    - Downloading content (without a PC) to a Kindle is fast and frictionless.

    Kindle comes with a Web Browser (in the experimental section) - I've not seen any developer information on the functionality of the Kindle browser (though it DOES have javascript support). I wonder if there will be a market for Kindle-optimized or Kindle-specific web sites (as their have been for the iPhone).
