It was mainly that in order to get anything on to the Kindle, I was relying on the flaky cell connection, which made things frustrating. Aside from the cell issues though, I'm still not won over by e-readers. I borrowed a Sony eReader a little while back for a couple months as well, and went back to paper books afterwards. Though the Kindle was marginally better, neither of them felt quite right in the hand compared to reading a paper book.

Unless you're saying that its 3G is crap. I don't know, I haven't tried buying anything with it yet, I had books already on my iPod Touch that I just synced over. @Darren I’m not sure how the cell signal problem is the Kindle’s fault?

It went something like this: 1. Turn Kindle on, go to bookstore to try and get books. 2. Notice there's no cellular signal in the house. 3. Walk out front door, wave Kindle around for a minute until the cellular gods are kind enough to give me a connection. 4. Walk back inside, frantically try to access Amazon store in the 15 seconds I have a signal. 5. Repeat steps 2-4 until ready to fling Kindle out the window. 6. Hey, look at that crisp display.
