    I really like the idea of a Kindle and I have several friends who swear by them... but...

    I absolutely REFUSE to buy a Kindle when I have a choice of one model (effectively) and it's £80 (or thereabouts). In the US the same model is £48, but there are two other models including a very nice looking colour screen. WAKE UP AMAZON! Nobody in their right mind should be buying this overpriced rubbish until you bring the price down to a worldwide level.

    FWIW I also think Amazon should be virtually giving the Kindle away to promote its ebook format. Make your money from the content not the hardware, own the content! Didn't you learn anything from Betamax! :¬)

    I think that will eventually happen. Think how expensive mobile phones were initially, now they give them away for the airtime (whoops, giving my age away here):rotfl:
