But there is certainly a market for it at this price range. TStrump, the price for reading material is what holds me back from purchasing a Kindle.

At the end of the day, though, I'd still rather hold a book in my hands. I think Amazon needs to lower the prices of books to make it more viable.

I think the biggest market would be for frequent travelers and technology buffs. I think it is an excellent product and I may get one in the future. I like real books as well.

I enjoy holding onto a real book and reading it. That's something that cannot be taken away. Like you mention, it is similar to an ipod but for books. But songs take 4 mins to listen to and books can take 4 weeks to read. I am a reader but not hardcore that I can finish a book each week. I wouldn't need it to hold 200 books, what does that do? I'm sure people love them. If you get one I would like to hear an updated review. I'm sure they will update the features for the future, but for now I have no need for one.

If they did I think people would download about a thousand books and never buy anything again. At least that is what I would do! ;) <strong>Nate: </strong>I feel the same way. If I were a traveling consultant for my job, or if I traveled often I would definitely get one. Steve: Right now I don’t think they offer that feature.

My Microsoft Zune has that and it might make the kindle a better purchase. Do you know if the kindle has a subscription service where you pay a monthly fee and get unlimited downloads?
