I.E. could someone with the gene for breast cancer have a double mastectomy then regrow their breasts and by doing so have reduced their chance of breast cancer? 2: The implant producers will be worried… A couple more thoughts…

Seriously. Copy editors must love alliteration because they fall into that trap all the time. I own and love a Kindle 2, but I am happy Amazon is getting some competiion because I think it will help consumers, even Kindle owners. I think your comment about content is the most critical. When people ask me what eReader they should buy, I tell them, "If you want to borrow library ebooks, get a Sony. If you want to buy books, then look at the online e-bookstores like Amazon and B&N and see who has the books you want to read. Compare prices to see how much they cost through each vendor." The Nook looks great, but no one has actually used one yet, so I tell folks to wait a month, if they can and see how things shake out. And check out the bookstores, too. Good luck getting an eReader some time soon! p.s. I love FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, btw. I think you deserve a medal for resisting putting the phrase “Kindle killer” in your headline. Seriously.
