Yep, could be. But the touch-screen where you weren't actually touching the
thing you were interested in threw me.
Or, as my brother said, "I got an iPad, because it has a touch screen." "My
Kindle doesn't have a touch-screen, which is why my wife's fingerprints
are all over the screen."

That's a pretty slick marketing move.

It was helpful on my trip to germany. The hotel wanted like $100/week for
wifi, but I found out the Kindle will do 3G web browsing for free, so for
the couple of "arrived safely" sorts of emails I wanted to send, it worked
out with webmail just fine. (My phone isn't GSM, ya see.)

I bought a second cable to leave plugged into my computer all the time,
running under the desk and all that. Happily, it's at least a standard USB
cable.

I haven't been bothered by that, but then I don't really read with it
plugged in.
