So I've been drooling over the Amazion Kindle ever since it came out last November.  Now, I'm not a huge reader but I think having this awesome ebook reader would get me to devour more books.  At a certain point of my job, my mornings were very slow and I was able to pick up reading again.  Before then, I hadn't read consistantly since high school.

Within four months, I went through about eight or nine books.  It was an amazing feeling to devour these novels.  I got to read the amazing Da Vinci Code, an interesting puzzle-mystery called The Rule of Four, and a few more books that had been on my shelf for way too long.  While my work schedule hasn't changed, I would love to make some time for reading again.  I think this would help.

Anyhow, I have never been able to justify the price for this but I realized just a few hours ago that I have some old amazon gift cards laying around.  That combined with my birthday coming this month, may allow me to get this for much less than the $400 they're asking (which I think is too much).

We'll see if this is a passing desire or something I'd really like to get.  Does anyone out there have one?  If so, do you like it?
