It has taken the Kindle two years to refine its features and I don't want to be another company's 'guinea pig' at my expense. Yes, there are additional features that are needed on the Kindle, and the touch screen sounds nice, but will it enhance the reading experience. What is really needed is a color, 256-bit graphic screen that can display photos. My Kindle 2 can display some basic graphics, but I find that none of my photography books work on it satisfactorily, because photography is, by nature, a visual experience and none of the eBook readers are now 'tuned' into that experience.
