Just doing a "check in" post. As I said before, I'm in no rush so if you need to get other things done first, I understand.
As for the Kindle, one of my good friends has one of those. I played around with it a bit, and it seems like an excellent device. However, the only thing I didnt like was that there wasnt a backlight ("Its suppose to be like a book" as my friend told me XD) and the text to speech function is kinda...blocky and choppy (I cant believe that publishers were afraid their audiobooks were gonna lose sales over that) Assuming that those two factors arent your main selling points, IMO, I wouldnt pay full price for it, but if you did find a good deal on it, I would jump.
