If you are in the situation I described above, wait a year or two and save up for it. Put $30/month aside in a savings account and then buy it. By then the Kindle 3 will be out and hopefully even cheaper. This is a device totally NOT worth charging on a credit card.

I haven't had a credit card since 2005.

I won't buy it unless I pay cash for it.

I *might* consider, however, just looking for a good used Kindle 1 or holding out just a while longer until the new and improved Kindles come out and I can get the Kindle 2 used.
