I totally agree with you Ken. I LOVE my Kindle 2, and the size is perfect. The only thing (in my opinion) that would make it better would be if it was a touchscreen so that the reading screen was a bit longer, but you could call a decent on-screen keyboard if you needed it.

I know 2 people that got Kindle DX's because the reading area was the same as a trade paperback, but within 6 months they both got Kindle 2's because the DX was just to big and heavy to hold and carry around

Kindles sound good for people who like to read, but in my case I have downloaded dozens of free classic books from places like Gutenberg I would like to read. I would like to be able to use an SD card, copy the books to that, and put that in an eBook reader just as I can into a laptop PC. I understand that the Kindle II has no SD slot! The original did. Doesn't impress me. So I continue using my old PDA, my TRGpro, which has a CF slot in back, and allows me to read novels quite nicely, as long as I just keep replacing AAA batteries as needed. It can handle a 2 GB CF card, room enough for many novels as well as text notes I keep for my own use. All this method requires is the appropriate card readers.
