So there is some (limited) pass-along capabilities with this device, despite the DRM.

It's not as sexy looking as the Sony reader - but the convenience of the built-in Amazon store is really great. This is the perfect travel companion - no more lugging lots of books and newspapers around for reading material on the plane. I wouldn't think a V2 is due any time soon. Bezos says that things like color are possibilities, but many years in the future (look how long it took to get the e-Ink technology out of the lab and into production). Kindle V1 is a fine product.
