I won't buy this, but you know what I WOULD buy?
I would buy a lightweight, feature-rich, electronic replacement for my leather-bound notepad. In fact, I've been searching for this mythical device since the first PowerBooks, always to be disappointed. Laptops are too big and use the same I/O paradigm as the desktop PC. PDA's, and I'm including every device from the first PalmPilot up to the latest iPhone, are too small. Tablet PCs have been too bulky with buggy software. This Kindle seems like yet another piece of the "Electronic Notepad" puzzle, but it STILL doesn't seem to meet the requirements of the sort of device I'm looking for. Some day, maybe.
