I’m thinking about buying a Kindle from Amazon. The pros are pretty clear: environmentally friendly, compact, and low price for new books. But how much cheaper are electronic book copies compared to traditional paperbacks? I’m hoping it’s at least 50% cheaper; the 9 price for the Kindle itself is a bit scary.

I have a Kindle reader and I found a book on Amazon I wanted to read… However this book is unavailable in the US due to copyright issues. I wanted to try changing my country so that I could buy this book in a place where it wasn’t unavailable. Will changing my country affect my purchased books, and will it result in any negative consequences? And can it be reversed?

Was trying to dig up some info on the what was available out there in the way of electronic reading devices, other than the Sony or Amazon’s Kindle. Would like to find a unit that would allow me to utilize ebooks I already own along with new purchases. Not too thrilled by the fact that Kindle has done away with the external memory option and does not use standard wireless. Also most reviews I find on the Sony unit complain about screen glare. What are my other options if any?

I just ordered a Kindle yesterday and I am trying to get an approximation of how long it will take to ship. Has anyone recently ordered one and received it? How long did it take from you placing the order until Amazon let you know that it has shipped? Just curious… Thanks!
