And here I am thinking that the Kindel DX would be great to put the Commissioner's Handbook on for GA!

A few months ago I came across this article online, "Three Arguments against the Kindle" [http://www.inhabitatiodei.com/2009/04/23/three-arguments-against-the-kindle/], linked from Jake Belder's blog, café de soirée
To sum up the article:
Argument one: The Kindle destroys the trace of the author.
Argument two: the Kindle destroys the community of readers which books engender.
Argument three: the Kindle denies the call to deep, meditative reflection.
Whaddaya think? Talk among yourselves...
Except the guy misspelled it, it should be "debil."The Kindle is the devil.

Has anyone here used the Kindle DX? I am very seriously thinking of getting either it or the second generation. What are the major differences?
Does the Kindle allow for electronic highlighting and marginal notes? That would be a great advantage for those who mark their books up a bit in study.
Whenever people come to my place, they are always amazed at my 1500 volume library. If all those volumes were on a little kindle sitting on my desk, no one would care. While you guys are reading your kindle, I'll be sitting in front of my bookshelves with a smug look on my face.

Yeah, but if you ever have to move, I imagine the Kindle guy would be hard pressed to keep from looking a tad smug.
But I have to admit, I'd take a library like that, especially if it had a fireplace and a nice coffee table with real coffee on it. I haven't counted the volumes we have, but they are in various rooms on shelfs of all sorts of sizes and shapes. My favorite collection right now are the Puritan works I've found online, printed out double sided, and bound in recycled deposition folders. Nobody so far has been impressed, but they read well and I don't worry too much about spills or stains.

Yes to both.
So just to clarify: there is space in which to write notes on the pages, correct? And I would be able to save the notes I write for reviewing them later?
Bookmarks and Annotations
By using the QWERTY keyboard, you can add annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a book. And because it is digital, you can edit, delete, and export your notes. Using the new 5-way controller, you can highlight and clip key passages and bookmark pages for future use. You'll never need to bookmark your last place in the book, because Kindle remembers for you and always opens to the last page you read.
I still prefer paper and ink.

This rules! I'm gonna hafta save some money though.
Are there any differences between the different Kindles besides their physical size and information capacity (and cost)?
