After a week with the pad
I still prefer reading paper books.
Yet having a couple dozen books
in a small portable device becomes compelling.

Highlighting lines, paragraphs on the pad = easy.
And the b&w and color illustrations appear beautifully rendered.
The access to news, web, music, videos = huge wow.
The drawing, painting and portfolio presentation = even bigger wow.

Battery life = around 10 hours.

I've spent only about 15 minutes with a friend's kindle.
It is a very nice device for reading b&w text;
but doesn't handle things like Kyle's pdf projects very well.
