Another thorough review of the Amazon Kindle 2. The review explains pretty clearly why I want one of these things but won’t be getting one soon:

I know it’s a bargain for the device if you think about a lifetime free 3G connection comes along with it, but I have to say the $359 price tag seems too high. At $99 or $199, I’d give these away as gifts to everyone I know and I would hope many more people would buy them. I’ve already read a dozen books and I purchased those along with at least a dozen more so hopefully in the future they could treat the Kindle as the free razor with the ebooks as the razor blades that make up for the hardware costs. I’m sure over the next year I’ll eventually match the sticker price of the Kindle and over the next few years I may end up spending thousands on the device.
