I don't but I've been thinking about getting one. There is a huge thread over on the Tivo bulletin board that I've been keeping up with.

Thanks Woof!

BTW, nice combo of name and avatar.

I've used it. It's nice. Is it worth the money is entirely up to you, but it has to be for the geeky gadget coolness factor.

If you want more details I can give them, but most of the details are all over the net.

Thanks dbp. My wife wants one. I thought I'd get one for Christmas but it looks like they're sold out. I basically just want to see an owner's perspective on them

Had one for about a year... love it... went to buy my wife one for Christmas... 13 weeks for one. That puts it at about the time they are supposed to come out with a new version.

thanks gtram. I had heard that the wait is riidiculous right now. I think I'll get her one in spring when the new one comes out.

The Sony reader may be available. I think its the same thing.

my understanding... the sony reader is not nearly as good... especially i believe you have to interface with a pc to get downloads vs straight to your kindle through the amazon site...
