My new toy from Amazon arrived this morning in custom packaging that looks pretty spiffy. The Kindle 2 is very easy to set up and while it's plugged into my iMac for its initial charging, I already downloaded two books I already own in traditional form: Marjorie Garber's Shakespeare After All and David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. Both books are sizable tomes I am reading this summer and it will be a relief to not have to lug the texts around in my upcoming travels.
