I just pre-ordered a Wi-Fi Kindle.

I originally wrote off the Kindle device as nice but not necessary. Maybe for the heavy reader, but not for me.  When the iPad came out, I was certain it was a nail in the Kindle’s coffin. But as much as I like using Brooke’s iPad, the light weight and small form factor of the Kindle, along with the e-ink display, really do make for a far better book-reading experience. At $139, the price feels a lot more ‘right’,  and I’m happy just using my iPhone for email, web, and any other computing needs when my laptop is out of reach.
