I agree that religious slurs are really unpleasant. I also agree that the Kindle is a piece of junk compared to the N8x0 tablets, even doing what it does best. I have read thousands of pages of novels on my N800, in all sorts of formats, thanks to evince and FBreader. And because the screen is backlit, I can read under the covers at night without a flashlight! The screen is big, crisp and sharp, and text is a joy to read on it. Also, it fits in my pocket. The Kindle is a big hunk that seems to do only one thing -- buy propriety-format reading material from Amazon.
