I just got the new Kindle generation 3 Wifi model (without 3G) and here's a first review in regards to PG: Disclaimer: If you like iPads, you probably don't like Kindles, and if you like Kindles, you probably don't like iPads. So, this review is for people who are looking for a dedicated reader device that uses e-Ink. In general, I like it pretty well. The Good: Price is "below cost" at $140. The e-Ink is now MUCH sharper and darker blacks than any e-Ink device I've seen. Very much like reading newsprint, or a laser printer on lower quality paper stock. WIFI reception is "brilliant" compared to 3G - at least in my reception area. Web browser is much more functional than before. Now contains glyph support for much of "all" of the Unicode glyph points - except no support for Hebrew nor Arabic. Includes CJK support and Eastern European. No Georgian extensions. Includes Unicode braille, Canadian Syllabics, IPA, etc. - lots of weird stuff. Web browser, including downloading .mobi formatted books directly from www.gutenberg.org works really great. Web browser, including downloading .mobi formatted books directly from m.gutenberg.org works really great. Really small and light, could easily fit in a purse if one has one - I don't. Controls work well, unobtrusive while reading. I was able to set up a local internal web site in my house where I can transfer .mobi formatted copies of the books I'm working on to that web site, and then download them using WIFI to the Kindle at my leisure without having to physically wire the devices together. [Hint: web site has to be set up to know MIME Type .mobi = application/x-mobipocket-ebook] If you buy a book from Amazon you can share it between multiple Kindles you own. The Bad: Kindle is still .mobi - I'd rather see it be .epub compatible While it can directly read .pdf files it will not download .pdf via its web browser. You either have to email them to your Kindle (free) or transfer them using USB. The screen is pretty small to read most .pdf files Still no "trivial" way for friends to share free books (non-DRM) without hassle from Kindle to Kindle. You can do so with the help of a laptop and a USB cable. Still can't check e-books out of a public library for your Kindle (unless those books are PD) Still no way (unlike Nook) to share for-pay (DRM) books between friends. AKA "borrowing" books. Software, while overall more functional than previous generation Kindles, is still in the typical "raw" state that Amazon initially releases its software in. IE Pretty easy to crash. Cheers, and I hope this informs your decisions - if any.
