Kindle is a super product if it does everything you need.

How's your gallery look on it?

My point was that the ipad should do the same things you love in the kindle, 
i would think.

some may prefer e-ink, but it doesn't do movies and color well yet.

a large iphone is pretty enticing to me.

extra for 3G is a trade off you need to figure against color and personal 
content non-pay content. Is the free wireless kindle service link to 
subscription services only?
