I just discovered last night that I have an acquaintance who owns a Kindle, so hopefully soon I'll be able to see it! I have done some looking into them, and I have been very curious to see their e-ink technology. I hear people talk about them on many of my LIS discussion boards, and people always say the glare would be terrible, staring at a Kindle for a few hours would hurt my eyes, and so on, but if you do some reading about them, there is no backlighting, and supposedly no glare! Even in bright sunlight, they say it appears just like the page of a book. I would assume this means you can't read it in the dark. And according to my friend who has one, the display is truly amazing and doesn't hurt her eyes at all.
She has the Kindle I. I am so excited to see it. I will keep you all posted (ha).
