I think the scroller thingy on version 1 likely WAS better than the '5 way controller' on the new one. It allows you to move about more quickly.
The pdf-> Amazon format is kind of hit and miss, which was disappointing. I read a lot of whitepapers and so on, and it goofs up the format. In one case, it took away all spaces between words.
The web interface is kind of lacking, but since it's under 'experimental', I suppose we can cut them some slack. I do very much like the idea of the WhisperNet, but would like it more if the web experience was better.
As far as reading goes, it is a win, as JN says. I forget I'm using a Kindle and get absorbed in the material.
Overall I can't complain, it was a birthday present after all, but there are some thing's I'd be aware of before buying.
