I have a Kindle July 28, 2008
Thank you, George W. Bush - you bought me a Kindle with your Economic Stimulus Check. 
Seriously, I’ve been wanting a Kindle for a while, but I had a hard time justifying the cost. So when the “fun money” of the stimulus check arrived, I decided it was the perfect moment to take the plunge. And MAN am I ever glad I did! It’s small, it’s super readable, it’s easy to use and I’m thrilled. The only downside that I can see is that it’s too easy to order books. It doesn’t really feel like you’re spending money. You just navigate to the Kindle Store from the Kindle itself, find your book and click Buy. Voila! Super handy and super scary.
So far I’ve reined myself in to just two purchases (however, one of them was the Harlequin 1-click Blaze buy — all 6 July books for $9.99). But I think a magazine subscription is next on the list… I’ll keep you posted.

Do you still love it, a week later? I can’t figure out if I should buy one now or wait.
I do love it - it’s so easy to use and easy to carry. The battery lasts a long time too. The only danger is that it’s VERY easy to buy things directly from the Kindle itself.
It doesn’t feel like you’re really spending money.
Just came across your blog on Google. Interesting post, you bring up a few good things to think about. Good luck with the blog.
