The thing is, I know how small the Kindle is. In theory, it's pretty cool. But it is definitely not something that fits in my purse or in my pocket like the iPhone does..and even if it did it doesn't do everything the phone can (especially with the just-released sdk). The integration is the only reason why I would contemplate a Kindle purchase..and yet..isn't a very compelling reason for me to do so. There aren't many new books I am truly interested in that I don't want a dead tree version of (easier to share with family/friends) or that I can't find an online version of (e.g. safari books, books24x7). I suppose it's really a personal preference thing. If the cost were slightly lower than it is right now I may consider it for home use. Or maybe if more of my textbooks were available..I would definitely purchase it in a split second. But as-is..nah.
