Default high-resolution screen looks & reads like real paper

I think the Kindle has some kind of new technology that says it's paramount to having "liquid paper" inside the reader, so reading it in sunlight isn't a problem at all! This is my one and only thing on my X-mas wish list and I've been giving Hubby hints for months, so I'm sure to get one!! I'll let everyone know what I think about it, but it has been absolutely RAVED about by the critics and has none of the viewing issues of the PC. I'll probably need the insurance plan (if it comes with one) because I can definitely see myself dropping it or breaking it down the road...YIKES! But I know I'll save a fortune on best sellers from now on....not to mention I can download them in only a minute from almost anywhere on the planet, it has different technology from the cell phone...more like satellite I think.

Here's the amazon link for anyone interested in reading more about it:

oh no..it's sold out!! I hope my hubby's already bought mine! I guess I'll have to wait if not...
