Anyone Own A Kindle?

My 11yr old daughter really loves her Kindle.

I took a long look at the original Kindle when it first came out and decided to not be an early adopter for once. When the Kindle 2 arrived I was sorely tempted, but was also intrigued by the Ipad for the increased funcionality. Unfortunately the Ipad is still using an LCD screen and it becomes tiresome to read after a while. I took a long look at the Nook color in a Barnes & Noble store and feel that the LCD screen has the same inadequacies as the Ipad. The technology that really intrigues me in the Notion Ink Adam. It features a Pixel Qi screen that offers the best of e-paper and LCD in one. Notion Ink is an Indian startup that just started shipping the Adam this week. Their pre-orders are all sold out. I am awaiting some reviewers actualy getting production units in their hands to see an in-depth, hands-on review. If that goes as well as early quickie reviews indicate I will probably be getting one of these once they become more available.
