From my perspective, that's no different from a paper book. It does allow copying sections into an email to others. I know it's not very conceivable from your end, Sean ... but you gotta remember, I finish a book every few days. It has a pretty competent web browser and can read html files you copy to it, so ... really, that's good enough for me. No, the books are only readable in the kindle.

There's even someone saying it's not nearly as ugly in person as it is in photos! :) And you're right, you can't beat the weight. Being a slow reader, I can't imagine wanting one before the iPho^H^H^H^H price comes down, but the way you go through books, I can see where this is very attractive. Here's hoping it's as sexy as it sounds. Just read this comparison of e-book readers, and I gotta say, both the comparison itself and some of the comments are pretty inspiring.
