Is the Kindle a Good Idea?

The Kindle V2 has potential to be a lot better in all of these sort of small ways that you're talking about. It just does feel like the kind of thing that a year from now with a little bit of software work, and maybe this is wishful thinking because we've been waiting 15 years for Amazon to have good software. For now, I like my Kindle fine. I would like to have one with more note-taking stuff, but like I can live with the keyboard typing notes for a little longer.
