Here's one I stole to test it out and it's pretty awesome
Although I do miss the 3g that my Nook had. But now my mother enjoys it. 
I played with the Nook Color in the store the other day and I thought it was pretty sweet. Half a step away from reader and toward pad. One less reason to ever buy an ipad.
One major use I had planned for it however has been killed, not by BN but by WotC. Fuckers went and released a very shitty online character builder app and quit supporting their standalone app which had an android app made to read the data files. So much for not needing to carry the CharSheet with me to games. 
I just kinda figured it did that on it's own.

once you hack your kindle, can you un-hack it? Is it as simple as removing the files or is it even possible?
The hack that nem linked specifically includes a file to uninstall the jailbreak.
Any suggestions for books to read? I got a file of 2500 books to dig through. I'm looking for new authors to try out.

You are new to reading, aren't you?
It would help if you could name one or a few genres you're interested in. Just "books" is awfully unspecific.
I've read most of the "mainstream" authors: Tolkien, Martin, Jordan, Goodkind (blech). I've always loved Salvatore and Greenwood even though they're not the most imaginative writers. I am willing to try most Genres though.
Also, one of the best books I have read in the last ten years is A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge (and it's prequel A Deepness in the Sky, but the order doesn't really matter).
Almost on the same level quality-wise is the Hyperion Cantos, a series of books by Dan Simmons.
If you enjoy military sci-fi (like I do), I can kinda recommend the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. It's a guilty pleasure of mine and I enjoy it despite of its many flaws (military=GOOD!, politicians=BAD!, the main character is the biggest mary sue I have ever seen).

Have you read the Dresden Files? They're a pretty entertaining series of books. They're urban fantasy genre, but have good characters, witty dialogue and interesting plotlines. Lyinar Ka`Bael fucked around with this message on 01-27-2011 at 10:42 PM.

And Book 13 got delayed till July. Which explains why I wasn't seeing his itinerary for the book signing. Still wondering if I'll make another trip to Houston or if it will be closer this time.
Someone explain to me why you should have to jailbreak this mother fucker to use custom backgrounds!

It is kinda silly. I can only think that it was just a low priority on the feature list for the firmware programmers.
But I lost my kindle, so, that's that for me.
