The Kindle--My first month's Experience

I waited a while to post up my thoughts on the Amazon Kindle, because I wanted to allow some time for the *shiny* to wear off, and for it to become just another device I own.  So it's been just about six weeks, and I think that is enough time for me to have some experience and give an initial burst of feedback.  I might check in about how I feel with it near the six month mark, and then at the one year mark, to see if the experience has much changed.

( Because it's lengthy, the review goes under the cut )

One final thought, if you run into me in person, at a convention, or perhaps at one of the Garden State Horror Writers meetings and want to hold the device, and take a look at it, please go ahead and ask.  I keep it with me almost all the time, and I want to let people--especially writers, editors, and others in publishing--take a few moments to see and feel what the device is like for themselves.
