If only they weren't so expensive. :[  By which I mean e-book readers in general, the only cool thing that really differentiates the Kindle from other readers is the fact that you can use Sprint's network to wirelessly look for books.

The main thing that holds me back from considering a Kindle is the horrible design. Even the prototype revisions just don't do it for me... they need some Jonathan Ives guidance or something. The thing would work better if it was just one big screen, like an iPhone except bigger... speaking of iPhones, I just use that for the few e-reading needs I have. I really despise reading on screens, and really love bound and physical books.
