    Meh…
    - Still no Wi-Fi access
    - Still cannot easily display standard PDF (Acrobat) files, nor can it utilize e-book formats other than Amazon’s.
    - 16 shades of gray (no color)
    - Price point is STILL well into full-featured netbooks and entry-level notebooks.

    The rear plastic panel on K1 falls off about 50% of the time it’s in the leather OEM book that comes with it. Does the back stay on this one reliably?

    Obviously is page turning quicker.

    Is batter still highly strained when wireless on and deliveries made. I lose 10-15% battery when I buy a book.

    I’m sure to some its “worth” $350…for me—an avid book reader—the payback (ohter than convenience while travelling) is YEARS! And the books cost $10? Not bad, but at the library they are FREE! OK, here’s the deal: I would buy one in an instant if it was $200 or less. When it gets there, I’m all over it.

    This arrived with no cover or slipcase to protect it while you travel with it. The first kindle had one. This pisses me off and I’m a big kindle fan.
