I have a Kindle on order.

Like any device it will have good and bad features. I'm not sure I understand the zeal to perceive only negatives.

In particular, yes ... periodical content carries a fee, but doesn't it anyway? Another Kindle owner I know subscribes to the WSJ. It's downloaded to his Kindle and he reads it on the train to work. WiFi won't work for that, it's convenient, and it is one step toward saving some trees.

The blog fees are a little hard to understand.
