And I love it! I was a bit suspicious about getting one at first but it was E-ink that convinced me.
Plus points for me:
1.E-ink as mentioned above. It actually feels like you reading a book and not a computer screen. For someone who easily gets headaches after a long time in front of a screen and who works all day on a computer, E-Ink is brilliant.
2.Wi-fi and web browsers. I don't do much advanced stuff on the web so the browser is good enough for me to check wikipedia and the news. Also I can go to the mobile version of Project Gutenberg where I can download tons of books for free.
3.Look and feel of the Kindle is excellent. I prefer it to carrying a notebook and a mobile (which I would find too small)
I really hope the Kindle does not become obselete anytime soon because I really think it has a future. I am one of the few who has no interest in getting a mobile phone with lots of gimmicky apps and features.
A side question but do you think devices like mobiles will ever adopt e-ink??

I love it already. Have downloaded a few free books but will splash out a bit on Friday when I get paid.
