Kindleness

I was thinking of maybe treating myself to a Kindle Fire, now that they're finally available in the UK. But having just had a proper look at them, they're LCD and I don't think I could settle comfortably and read a book on an LCD screen. I stare at LCD for 8 1/2 hours a day at work, and I'd take E Ink over more of the same after-hours any time.

So, I'm thinking the best option for me would be the newest low-end version, this little chappie:

My current Kindle is the original beastie, with the keyboard at the bottom that does nothing but get in my way. And whilst there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, I like the idea of a smarter looking, lighter version.

But then, those lucky 'mericans have an even newer Kindle Paperwhite I see. Which looks even better. Will that ever make its way over here I wonder? perhaps I should wait it out?

..or perhaps, as I tend to always get any books in a series I want to keep/re-read in paper format anyway, I should just forget it?
