I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon. It was mailed on the release date. Still waiting for USPS to deliver it.

I ordered a Kindle 2 reader from Amazon last week, and it arrived today. Mark Levin's new book was the first thing I downloaded to it.

How do you like the Kindle 2? I have a ba-zillion “old-school” books, and I love having them on hand. I was thinking of getting the Kindle, but I'm not sure.

I purchase lots of technical books. The Pragmatic Programmers site sells electronic, downloadable titles in PDF and other electronic forms. Once you purchase a title, you can download it in any or all formats. The publisher sends notifications of updated editions with errata corrected. Simply download a fresh copy. You "own" it in perpetuity. I'm sure Kindle is supported.

Having my tech books in PDF form on my laptop saves lots of room in my "carry on" luggage when making trips where I have need of the references. Alas, not everything is available that way.
