Duh. I totally forgot to look up the specs of the Kindle while posting.
Anyway, I just saw that Apple is coming out with a tablet, which from people's guesses, looks like a giant iPod touch, which could also double as a reader, if it's got the connectivity and ability to use the Kindle app. Then you get access to Amazon's store of books. The downside is you don't have the e-ink display which then makes it kind of like a keyboard-less netbook. Undoubtedly it will be super-expensive.
I still like the txtr for its compact size (no keyboard!) and the connectivity features. I really want to know how they're going to price it, though.
