I have heard of Kindle, but this is the first time I read a review. Thanks for the description and pictures. I am surprise by the "actual" paper feel as you have shown in the pictures. To be frank, I like the old kindle even better. I'm not exactly sure it was due to my LED screen, but it seems the slightly dimmer non backlighted old kindle looks way "real" than the newer ones.

I kept one of the Palm PDA for probably the longest time in my younger adult life, the black & white bejeweled killed most of my time sitting at the chemical lab when I was working in a steel factory. This thing totally reminded me of that.
