Thanks Alison for the article.
I played with the eReader one night while at Borders. I was impressed
enough to start thinking about the ebook/e-ink thing again for real.
Since I'm more interested in converting my own docs and downloaded
books/documents/etc to put on it, the Kindle appears to have better
options.
The ability to do rudimentary web surfing and wikipedia searches is
highly appealing as well.
Lucky for me - having not been able to make up my mind for sure - the
kindle is still very sold out, so it's a good time for research.
