Another hands-on review of the Amazon Kindle e-book reader. I like the note about not having to hold it in your hands while reading. Having to hold pages open is a design issue with paper books that doesn't get talked about much. It's not a huge win for e-book readers, but it's something. This reviewer even tries reading while on a treadmill, with success.
Also good to hear that the Kindle supports the Mobi e-book format, and that PDFs can be converted to Mobi pretty easily. I'm assuming it's not a pixel-perfect conversion of the layout, but it's something.
