from: Kindle with Special Offers, Wi-Fi, Graphite, 6" Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology

i find this interesting specially that i'm interested into reading e-books (putting multiple books into one as opposed to carrying every book) and carrying a 'digital' dictionary (my nokia 5320 has a dictionary but i lost it ) and not to mention the wifi. the 6" screen would be adequate for reading and surfing vs those small screens on wifi capable cellphones.

the samsung galaxy tab caught my eye before, but it was too pricey. plus i already have a phone which serves its purpose. i think the only thing lacking from the kindle is a music player. but then its supposed to be an e-book reader not a media player and also i don't really mind if it doesn't have the touch screen function like the galaxy tab, it doesn't hurt for me.

your take?
