Way OT .. but anyone using Amazon's Kindle?

I know this is a little late, but I bought my wife a Kindle,the $259 version, f/ Christmas & she loves it & uses it constantly. You can download books f/$9.95US, sometimes less & even some (older ones?) f/free. The controls seem very simple to use & the electronic ink, or whatever it's called, is as easy on the eyes as real print & doesn't fade out in direct sunlight like an LCD. Also, you can vary the size of the print & it will also (on many books) read it aloud as with audio books-in either male or female voice. It comes w/a USB plug-in AC charger cable & I was able to find a car DC/charger adaptor cable f/about $10 US. Overall, I like it much better than the Barnes & Noble Nook or the Sony readers, all of which I researched prior to buying the Kindle. HTH.
