I recently considered buying a Kindle2 for my 16yo bookworm. But after reading about all the hidden costs - $1/email, $1/blog read, etc..., the crippled ability to add content without going through Amazon, people losing all of their magazine & newspaper content (and sometimes books too) they paid for when upgrading from Kindle1 and then factoring the high cost, ~$380, I decided against it. Amazon has taken iTunes type restrictiveness to a whole new level.
For that price just buy a nice netbook and get books in the digital format of your choice. Kindle? Stay far, far, far away.
