It would frequently hang requiring resetting, and the page control buttons were too long and always in the way. Consequently, I didn't use it much. Kindle 2 so far, as a reader, has been flawless. The battery lasts for about 3 days of heavy use; the built in dictionary works; it remembers where I am in every document; Amazon converted my purchase history to the new device automatically; The new case attaches in a much more robust way; I like it and use it.

Plus, I like the pretentious look of a stuffed library. I’ve been drooling over Amazon’s Kindle for months, but the inability to highlight passages and make notes is a non-starter for me.
