[Edited on 31-07-2010 by danny_vx] Paper can be recycled and new trees planted. Electricity is mainly produced from coal and makes the sky cry :( I'd rather go for the old school option. ;)

	i have an i-river story, pretty much the same thing. i personally love it, the e-ink is fantastic and its so much easier having all my books on one device, not to mention the ease of downloading a PDF file and dragging it onto the device and reading it from there. And its not meant to be an Ipad at all, not even in the slightest might aswell compare it to a pc if your doing that :/

	These e-ink screens are supposed to be much more like proper paper so I'd be tempted to give one a go, though generally I do prefer paper too :)

	I'm old school, I actually prefer reading books and printed newspapers. Showing my age :lol:

	TBF, it's never tried to be even like an iPad, which is actually 3 times more expensive. Plus trying to read books outside in the sunlight would be awful due to the reflections.

	When I was on the plane coming back from the USA some woman on the seat to my left was using a Kindle to read newspaper articles on it. It's OK, but an iPad it ain't!

	Looks a bit crap tbh.

	At the bottom is tells you it's also a web browser (but that's experimental).

	Does it only do books or is it basically a reasonably priced iPad? If only books, complete waste of space to me

	Thoughts? Looks pretty good, free 3G and WiFi and it's a reasonable price: New Amazon Kindle
