If you don't turn the wifi on, battery really lasts.

Then I started seeing the IPADs and other ebook readers like Nook Color. I decided to give my kindle to a relative when I was in Manila. I bought a Nook and although it's colored and tochscreen with internet access, I miss the kindle.
My wife gave me a Nook Color as an early Christmas present when I was in the rehab hospital. I have never had a Kindle but I love the Nook. The only problem that I have is that the software for anything but reading is very touchy and buggy but as a book replacement it is excellent.
