Further update

Well, I've had my Kindle for nearly two years now, and I certainly wouldn't be without it.  I still buy the occasional paperback when there's a good offer on, but where the Kindle has really come into its own is when I go on holiday - instead of weighing down my case with around half a dozen paperbacks to last me a fortnight, I just load up the Kindle with more than enough books to keep me going.  I always think the acid test of any gadget is - if it broke, would I replace it?  And as far as the Kindle is concerned, the answer is a definite yes.
