And change to who?
I'm the same. But ironically, Kindle is just as much of a walled garden, if not moreso.
I guess pragmatism wins out here. Cheaper books, bigger range, cheaper device, better battery life.
Which Kindle will you get? Normal or DX? I'm hanging for a 7" version.

Normally I use Windows Remote Assistance. Get them to go to Start->Help and Support.

I didn't even know they had a store until I saw this article.
It looks pretty good. There's a bunch of stuff, including a nice polo, a Karmic Koala t-shirt, as well as CDs, stickers, etc, etc.
The CDs are only $1.50 each, so I won't mind buying them if I have to.
Isn't that what XBMC is for?
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
