After knocking back a chapter or so on a Kindle 2g when I was staying over at a friends house the other day, I must say that I am pretty impressed by the e-ink. I still don't find it extremely more readable than the N810. I can't imagine the ipod touch/iphone being any different if not even worse due to lower pixel density.

The great thing that I love about my N810 is how small it is to handle and how perfectly it sits in my hand. On a crowded subway I can easily use it one handed and tucked close to me with my thumb on the pg+pg- rocker, which is more than I can say about the Kindle 2 and probably even the iphone.

The kindle is a great piece of kit, but I am more jealous of the marketplace on it than anything. I hate grappling with de-DRMing books that I have purchased. I have no qualms paying for a good book.
