I have never actually seen or held one, but they look pretty slick from what I can see online. I guess my question is, if something goes wrong, are your purchases still loadable through Amazon if you upgrade to a new Kindle or need to replace a broken/lost one? Are you really satisfied with the purchase? I mean, I kind of like the idea of having a physical book in my hands, and the prices for Kindle versions of books aren't really that much cheaper. Considering that you gotta drop like $300 for the 9" model, you've got to buy probably 50 books before you're really cost saving. It seems like an expensive little gadget to have just for the sake of having it. It would be nice to have all your books in one small place, like having all your songs on an iPod etc. At that price it seems like you'd be further off with a more versatile tablet, no? Really the only feature I see that I like is the digital ink display they've got going on, for easy reading in all light conditions. So what do you Kindle owners think? Worth the purchase?
