I got my Kindle 2 this summer with my Amazon credit card "miles" right before the price reduction - and Amazon gave me a credit for the amount of the reduction. Of course I used the credit to buy books for the Kindle. I do love it, especially the instant gratification aspect. What I don't like about electronic readers is the absence of the books themselves. I love books - piles and stacks of them all over. They are constant reminders of characters and places and plots. I always think that houses devoid of books say something about the people who live there . . . and the Kindle hides the books. Gone is the opportunity to look at someone's book shelf or pile and comment on a book I loved - because it's hidden away on the Kindle . . . But I do love that instant gratification. ]]>
