I kept waiting for the new ereader to be launched this Christmas that was going to be better than the Kindle3, but it seems that no new, better product was launched so I'm going to have to wait some more and just get some deadtree literature.
Same here. I got one from my wife for my birthday. I don't know if it's due to the shorter pages (reformatting layout), clear easy text, a battery that goes on forever, or just the excitement of a new gadget - regardless, I've already read 2 books. The eInk is amazing and worth every penny.
