I've been thinking of getting a Kindle but at $259 and $489, I can't really pull the trigger. They say $259 6" version holds 1,500 books and the $489 10" version holds 3,500 books. In fact, they tout that I could "carry my library"
The truth is I really don't need to carry my entire library and definitely not 1,500 books and probably not even 10 books. If I've got the reading bug, I may have 2 or 3 books max I'm jumping back and forth between.
I could see someone that does a lot research needing the storage but I think most folks would do fine with a device that would store 25 books and priced at around $99. Now if Amazon can get the public libraries connected so I could load borrowed books on the device, I'd say they got me as a customer.
