So will I :) .

I managed to find a case for under £9 so I've gone with it. I read that someone had damaged his screen while he was carrying it in a suitcase. I have to say that so far I have only heard good things about Kindle. It's supposed to be as easy to read as a paper page and whole books download in 60 seconds. There is a lot of free stuff available if you enjoy classics and subscriptions to national newspapers are just £9 a month. The ordinary WiFi version is now £89 but the 3G is essential if I am to avoid extortionate marine WiFi charges. I will let you know more when I receive it later this week but the acid test will be when I take it on my travels. :laugh:

will be interesting to see how it works on your travels too. I've seen the screen's and they are amazing. I'd jump on one if book publishers offered dual format. I mean I love owning books. I prefer to read them. I love having them on the shelf but would rather be able to carry lots around all the time. Like Blu-rays come with DVDs in some cases it would be great if you could own the book but for say 50p or a £1 more you go the digital rights too. Sounds like win win to me.
Cases - if i'd been paying attention I'd have shouted play or somewhere like that I found my found case well cheap there.

I wouldn't bet on 3G roaming charges being less than marine WiFi. You'd be wise to check that out before travelling, Clive.
