Two years ago, when the Kindle was launched, I wrote that I probably wasn’t going to get one. Since then, I’ve warmed slightly to the idea of getting one.

What’s changed ? For one, my reading habits. I’m reading a lot more these days, and digital representations of those books take up less space, and are easier to travel with. One thing that might tip me over the edge to buy one though is that today Amazon announced they added a native pdf reader. I spend a lot of time staring at processor datasheets etc, and having something to hand that I can refer to without having to alt-tab away from my editor would be really nice.

That 85% battery life improvement is interesting too. I’m curious what was responsible for such a large saving.
