It's a shame, I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't work for us.
I would be interested to know why it didn't work for you. I have to admit, I am having trouble acclimatizing myself to those paddles, but the wireless delivery, plus the reduced cost of books more than makes up for it.
Granted if they could figure out a way to have a backlight without killing the battery, that would be great, but it's a nice to have, not a got to have.
As for newspaper and magazine subscriptions, I have given up on getting those on the Kindle. The lack of good graphics is to hard for me to get by.
