OK, for those who think $400 is too much for a device that does what the Kindle does so very well you have the option of building your own. Visit www.eink.com/kits to get your own kit.

I tried to buy one but they're all sold out.  I was gonna go for the $1500.00 one since I am sooo fiscally responsible but nope, all gone!  I guess i'll be forced into the 3K one.  Buy hey, that one has EIGHT shades of gray!  lol

OK, I'm intrigued....gonna have to sell a lot more quilts.... 

If you were going to build your Kindle, what features (other than folders) would you put in it that you don't have now?  What would your prototype have?

Well, I was really being facetious since you can buy 4 or 8 Kindles for the price of one kit depending on kit chosen. The price whiners are much more prevalent in the Amazon forums but I thought it was interesting so I posted it here too. Folders are the main thing I'd want, along with a sensible button system like the new K2. I'd either keep a memory card slot or have at least 4gb of memory.

Holy COW, that sounds difficult.
