I love my Kindle DX. You can put native PDFs on it to feed your tech junkie needs.

I *just* bought a Kindle last night. I looked at the iPad and it's snazzy, but damn it's expensive and I can also totally see my eyes getting tired reading from it.

Unfortunately, the series I'm reading right now, "The Black Company", doesn't appear to be available for the Kindle, but I'm hoping a good number of the books I read are.

We'll see...
