I ordered a Nook as it seemed like the best of the bunch and they charged my card then said they were out till January. I was some kind of pissed as it was for my Wife for Christmas and January is a bit late and they would have my money for a month. Got my card credited and now waiting on the next most improved version not offered by Barnes and Noble.

After a number of weeks of agony, I have decided I need to sell my kindle. I absolutely love it, but the books I am reading are exclusively scholarly works, and apart from my Dostoevsky class nothing is really available for Kindle. Furthermore, the texts I am reading for my academic pursuits are things that I would like to keep, mark up, reference, etc in the future in my Masters/PhD programs and therefore I think I should invest in real, physical paper. I'm gonna post the sale on Craigslist, not sure it would be an appropriate use of the board to post it here. Anyway another bump for an awesome product if you are looking to fly through books and not worry about having them in the future for reference. I read more and faster with the kindle, and I'm sad to see it go! Its just an expensive paperweight, ya know? Plus I could buy probably ten scholarly works that I would use over and over for the price of the kindle...

No problem at all posting it here, Mark.
We occasionally get non-cigar items put up for sale. As long as it's not Cuban cigars, alcohol, firearms, etc. as listed in the rules, you are free to put it up here.

Good luck.
