Amazon.com: Kindle: Amazons New Wireless Reading Device: Kindle Store
This looks like quite a cool device. I’m tempted to get one, but they are a bit pricey ! The thing is though, that I’m not sure if I would like reading from a device as opposed to an actual book. So to buy something like that would be risky !
dennis' notes.... 
I know a couple people that have gotten a kindle reader but I think I still love paper books too much to make the switch, and as you say, they are still kinda pricey at this point.
