Kindle 2 Revisited
Full disclosure. Just got the Kindle 2 as a gift from my wife, and I love it. However, I won't be using the text-to-speech function, and I hope you won't either!
I feel the same about the Kindle 2. Wonderful reading device, but I wonder where Amazon will eventually go in regard to audio rights. My own books are available for the Kindle, but are also read by voice actors for separate audio books.

I think there is so much uncharted territory. It is exciting!
