The kindle is far better than a 'real book'. I would hardly call it the wrong present. If you enjoy reading, its fucking awesome. A library in your hands.

Dunno what kindle your kid got, as the screen is black and white 'e-ink' on all editions, and theres no games on them.

I downloaded a bunch of word and card games. Nothing spectacular, but they're better than minesweeper.

Anway, define better. I can carry a lot more on the Kindle, which is great for travel, but it will never replace actual paper for me.

Nope. I've got a TouchPad waiting for CM7. Just sold my nook color.

Alot of my co-workers are buying these with the keyboard/docking stations. Haven't heard anything but good things about them so far.

At that price, why not throw in an extra 100$ and get an Ipad?

My friend has the Transformer with Windows 7 on it instead of Android. It's not a bad little set up. The screen is nice and a decent size. The keyboard is convenient and the keys big enough to be useful without being micro-moronic like some of the keyboards on a similar sized netbook. It's a bit on the heavy side. The mouse is one of those eraser tip kind that's a complete son of a bitch to use. It's completely imprecise and no amount of adjustment makes it smooth enough to use for more than very basic stuff. The mouse buttons are retardedly small and butt right up to the space bar. I still hit the space bar far more than the actual mouse buttons when I use it. For 400 bucks, it's not a bad little deal, but I agree with Apoc. For a bit extra, I'd get the iPad. The fit and finish is better, the weight is lower, and Honeycomb is still clunky compared to iOS.
