There seem to be some Kindle fans here?
£150 for the Kindle 3G seems like a good deal. I'm just looking for someone to persuade me to part with the cash! Any experiences with the "experimental" web browser?
I'm really quite liking my kindle, but then I do use it purely as a book - so, it's primary purpose is being fulfilled nicely with the bonus that if I get stuck on the train and run out of things to read I can just grab a new one.
The relevant bit to this list: Any PC interaction I have with it will be from my Linux (Ubuntu) box. Any reason to have any concerns? I've never owned an eBook but I gigure something like Calibre should allow me to convert between ebook formats (the wife is concerned she'll buy an ebook from Waterstones that she can't use on it, for example; my concern is more about keeping her off MY Kindle in the first place!)
Haven't tried buying anything that's not directly from amazon yet, but I've heard many people have had luck with calibre.
