I just asked my mom for a Kindle for Christmas, but I don't have wi-fi... am I going to have to mooch off my neighbor's network whenever I want to download a book, or can I just plug the Kindle into my laptop and download directly through USB?

Also, not having to wait 1-2 weeks for a book (living overseas) means instant gratification is finally possible...am I correct in assuming this is going to result in a massive book purchase increase?

Kindle opening reactions:

:3: It's so TINY
:keke: Let me just remove this sticker...
:aaaaa: That...that's not a sticker

Is that same reaction what the thread title is referring to?

This thing is amazing-- the quality of the screen is dazzling, surprising even after having read dozens of reviews singing its praises. The size, weight and feel is perfect.. the idea of an electronic book seemed really really dumb until I picked up a Kindle for the first time and started flicking through the user guide.

The Kindle is also incredibly dangerous. I found, purchased and downloaded a book in about a minute and a half-- my wallet is screwed.

I hope one day my standby screen can display whichever Sci-Fi novel I'm in the middle of reading instead of Mark Twain's face :allears:

edit; Read the OP and found the screen saver hack...awesome
