Talk me down... I want a Kindle!

... I can't afford it -- well, I can afford the reader. I *can't* afford all of the books I know I will buy if I get one. But they call to me, so sweetly...

Could they do a "All You Can Read" option for like, $50 a month? You would never actually own the books, but you could read all of them you wanted?

1. The main problem I'd have with the Kindle is not being able to

physically handle the books. That's a big part of the reading experience for me.

2. I recently saw a guy reading with one at a seminar I attended.

This was during a break and he was reading away on his Kindle. It looked really cool and from what I could tell, the text was very easy to read.

Edited to add: I guess I didn't talk you down very well. :P
