Just ordered the Kindle and saw the release of Ipad and was bummed. But the more I researched I am glad because I want it to read and all my research says the Kindle has the easiest on the eyes and we have limited Internet features here.
Also the 6″ screen will work fine for me. Hey Dom not sure if you know but lots of airlines have power plugs in something like every 3 rows all thru the airline. They do not promote but on AA for example right next to the button to release the above lugagge storage you will see a power symbol informing you that there is a power outlet in your row, just below the armrest. need a special airline power cord but they are easy to find.
Take care all,
Brian
