I was a long time palm user (iiic then lifedrive) for ebooks before kindle came out... Havent really thought about getting a kindle because my HTC Evo allows me to do pretty much everything a kindle would I think... My cousin did ask a good question though... Would you rather drop that kindle down a flight of stairs or a paperback...

Tobus, have you tried autocad ws for drawings? I found it was a great idea with a terrible implementation....
