    I'm sure Amazon would disagree after they sold over 4 million in December.

    I have a real duck down gillet from Landsend. It has these HUGE pockets, which if I owned an Ipad *drool* I could stuff into the pockets as I went about my [Hospital] stay.

    ( I might need to post a pic of me wearing it to show it off to it's best extent)
    Best wishes
    I think Landsend do a Male Version problem solved!

    I had this dilemma at christmas. I ended up going for the Kobo, the Kindle has nothing that the Kobo doesn't whereas the Kobo has benefits the Kindle doesn't.

    With certain plugins Calibre is more than capable of sidestepping DRM. I don't understand why companies like amazon push people towards piracy like they do.

    I use Stanza on my iPod, Kobo on my tablet.

    Couldn't disagree more. The market might slow down but it wont die.
  • I do recommend the Kindle for the "E-Ink". It is true of how realistic the pages and text look, I do prefer the Kindle over real books now for weight and size and a battery life of over a month is something I cannot complain about (I have the 3G+keyboard).
