And i probably would have gone for the kindle, however i won't even consider it until it's available properly in the UK.
The main thing that puts me off, is the lack of consumer protection.There is far less of it if you buy from the US and, because of that, i just don't trust buying anything more than a few quid from the states. If amazon uk were selling them, and you didn't have to pay more for books to cover the roaming charges on the whispernet, i'd have probably got one without really thinking about an alternative.
the only other thing i don't really like is the keyboard, it seems like a completely pointless addition. But i suppose, if you do annotate, it's probably quite useful.
