I’m still try­ing out my Kin­dle, and lov­ing it so far, but I still have many more tech­ni­cal hoops to jump through to see how I like it, but I have to admit that one thing has jumped out at me. The size is prac­ti­cally per­fect, as illus­trated below (Sorry for the qual­ity — it’s from my camera):

Kin­dle vs. Moleskine

On the right is one of my Mole­sk­ines. As this pic­ture shows, in it’s case the kin­dle is only slightly wider and slightly shorted.  Given that the Mole­sk­ine is some­thing I’m already very com­fort­able tot­ing around, that makes the Kin­dle very easy to work into approach to car­ry­ing things. Specif­i­cally, i won’t need to find some new way to carry this new gad­get — I’ll just keep it with my note­books.  For more of a com­par­i­son, let me add my HP net­book and my ipod to the shot:

Clock­wise from top left: HP Mini-Note 1000, Ipod Touch, Mole­sk­ine, Kin­dle in its case

For some­one who is try­ing to get every­thing down to one bag, kin­dle plus net­book already looks like a promis­ing combination.
