Here's my blog entry on the Kindle.  I just need to correct one item
regarding the navigation features.  Apparently most books do have chapter
markings.  http://www.ppatel.org/blog.

Nope, but the Icon, and the Braille+ will do it for us.  Not to mention the 
Stream, smile.

We have had our "kindels" for years because we have to.

Wow, I had not seen this Kindle thing. I don't think I would like it. I 
don't even like to read the newspaper online. It's just not the same thing. 
Although maybe I wouldn't get distracted when a story goes from page 1 to 
page 6, because with the print paper, I find I turn to page , read things 
there, and keep going and by the time I get to page 6, I forget I was ever 
reading a front page story.

  It would be kind of neat to have the wireless access everywhere you go 
though without having to be near an open network.

  It didn't look to me like it had speech though, so I'm guessing it would 
not be useful to non-print readers.
