I'll start thinking seriously about ebooks when they make one I can drop in the bath without killing it or me or both.

And yes, the DRM thing is a major turnoff

Ironic how you spark this debate and then offer a chapter of your book as a download. Goes slightly against your argument, but got to move with the times I guess.

I'm a book man all the way, but at the same time cannot wait to get my hands on a kindle to see if they are any good.

I bought my wife a kindle for christmas, she thinks it's great and uses it all the time. She reads a lot and travels a fair bit, carrying the kindle around instead of even only three or four books makes a difference, especially when taking in to account all the work crap she has to cart around.

You can get waterproof skins for them apparently, at least you can for the kindle.

Can you also store your own PDF's on there? Or is it dedicated files only?

I don't know, I'm a bit of a Luddite as far as new fangled things go, I'll ask her and let you know although she's away most of this week so it won't be until the end of the week. You could try a kindle forum, you'll probably find someone in one of those has asked the same question and had it answered. I can't give you any links to any, but I believe she has looked at a couple when she was looking for answers to queries. I imagine googling 'kindle forum' may do it.
