I want to buy the Kindle but the latest one has too many people complaining about features and capabilities. I might as well wait for the next version.

I’m with you on this one. (I must be getting old because, yes, I’m going to start a sentence with….) Many years ago, I *used* to visit the bookstore and buy something like 10 books at a time. But lately, when I’ve gone into one I can’t seem to find a single book that I want to own. I’d start to question my desire to read, except that I’ve actually had good luck going to my city library to find relevant books that I’d always meant to read but somehow never got around to. And for light reading, I simply pick things up at Costco — which I’ve found is cheaper than B&N, Borders, and yes, Amazon.
