Anyone Own A Kindle?

[croatan]

I've been looking at these pretty seriously. I like the feel of a book in my hands, but I do think these would be incredibly handy, especially on trips. Being able to take a little Kindle on an overseas trip versus four or five hardback books would be fantastic.

I worry somewhat about the proprietary nature of it, though, and wonder what might be coming down the pipeline.

Like Peter, I'd also love to hear more first hand accounts.
