disagreed: "Overpriced and overrated - the Sandisk 8gig is head & shoulders above the 3rd gen nano. Does more for less outlay, accepts generic recharger (the iPod needs a dedicated Apple charger) and generic cases. Easier to download CDs from Windows Media Player. A great con job by Apple"
agreed: "good gui"
disagreed: "Battery still not user replaceable."

"There is a lot misinformation out about the Kindle. You can read all the free classics on the web and download them to your Kindle. You can browse to any web site for free. You can convert PDF and Microsoft Word documents for free, either by emailing them to Amazon and back to your computer or by using the free software Mobipocket Creator. The 10 cent charge only applies if you email a document for conversion to Amazon for delivery directly yo your Kindle. Paperbacks are great but I also read a lot of thick, heavy hardcovers and Kindle is a cheaper, lighter alternative!"
