Thanks for the info about the web browser. I wonder if it will be improved with the new kindle. I plan to hold off on buying until I see some of the reviews about that.

As an e-reader it is perfect IMHO, but I would certainly consider a separate device for e-mail, casual browsing, etc. The iPod touch does a good job of this.
